Introducing Belgrade
Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe and, together with Athens, the largest city of the Balkan Peninsula. The oldest archaeological artifacts from the Belgrade area date back to the fifth millennium B.C. The members of a Celtic tribe founded Singidunum in the III century B.C., while the first record of the name Belgrade dates back to 878 A.D. During its long and tumultuous history, Belgrade has been conquered by 40 armies, and rebuilt completely 38 times.
Belgrade is the capital of Serbian culture, education and science. It has the greatest concentration of institutions of national importance in the field of science and art. Some of the prominent institutions are the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the National Library of Serbia, the National Museum, the National Theatre and many more. The city is also the seat of the University of Belgrade, founded in 1808 as the Great School, and the seat of the University of Arts.
