A local would say...

Where two rivers meet, every great power in history tried to hold this hill — and most of them failed.

An ancient hilltop fortress where the Danube and Sava Rivers meet, surrounded by extensive parkland that serves as Belgrade's main outdoor living room, with views across two rivers and into Croatia and Bosnia. The fortress has changed hands between Byzantines, Ottomans, Habsburgs, and Serbs dozens of times over two millennia, and its layers of military architecture — Roman, medieval, baroque — chart the city's turbulent history. The Military Museum inside holds Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman artefacts.
