Here's a photo of part of Kalemegdan fortress with Ivan Meštrović's (died 1962) famous statue The Victor (Pobednik). The statue, now a symbol of Belgrade, was originally intended to stand in the center of Belgrade, but in 1928 protests against having a naked male statue downtown resulted in its being placed in Kalemegdan, a public park!

HAPPY (EVER AFTER?) IN THE MARKET PLACE

They sure LOOK happy!  No apologies to the  BEATLES' SONG, Ob-la-di-ob-la-da  since I'm pretty sure they'd approve of this photo...
