Changing hands among the Byzantines, Bulgars, Hungarians and Serbs in the period from the 5th to the 15th century, Belgrade underwent certain changes, additions and repairs without losing its basic form or purpose. The large-scale building works undertaken from 1403-1427 by Despot Stevan Lazarevic gave the fortifications their developed medieval form with a citadel in the north-west corner of the Upper Fortress (Gornji Grad) and an extensive Lower Fortress (Donji Grad) and western and eastern suburbs.Today the remains of Belgrade fortress are incorporated in the large park of Kalemegdan.
Skadarlija is bohemian area of old Belgrade, located between what are now Cetinjska, Makedonska and Skadarska streets. It grew up spontaneously around the turn of the century, following the building of a brewery here in the last century, which led to the opening of a number of café. Close together in one short street, they became the meeting place of artists and writers, who spent the better part of their lives in the Three Hats (Tri Sesira), Two Deers (Dva Jelena), Golden Chalice (Zlatni bokal), Skadarlija, and other hostelries.
