Tašmajdan Park, Belgrade

Tašmajdan, or just Taš, is a public park and neighborhood in Belgrade. For the most part it is just a park, while its northern and far western sections are quite urbanized. During the First Serbian Uprising and the subsequent Siege of Belgrade in autumn of 1806, the leader of the uprising, Karađorđe, set his camp in Tašmajdan and conducted the liberation of Belgrade from there. A mound in the eastern part of the park was used for public reading of decrees and laws. Together with the surrounding area, it now forms a historical complex called Stari Beograd (Old Belgrade), while the park itself lies within the natural reserve zone of Miocenski Sprud-Tašmajdan. Within Tašmajdan is a sports complex and a children's amusement park.
