August 24th – November 5th 2010

Sava Promenade, Kalemegdan Park

Visitors to the Belgrade Fortress will have a chance to see the antique ceramics of Singidunum, Roman tableware and luxury pots, ceramic pots from the Migration Period (4th and 5th century), as well as medieval pots from the houses found at the Belgrade Fortress.

“Being one of the most common and abundant type of finds on arheological sites, pottery offers precious evidence of the everyday life, aesthetic predilections and tehnological achievements of our ancestors, and so the pottery excavated in Belgrade testifies to its two-millennia-long urban history… Throughout its past, the town shared the fate of the fortress with all its fortunes and misfortunes, soaking up a varity of cultures and lifestyles of its many diverse inhabitants – Romans, Slavs-Serbs, Byzantines, Hungarians, Ragusans, Turks, Austrians, and many others. All that past is clearly reflected in the pottery. (Dr Vesna Bikic, author of the exhibition)
