Belgrade
Belgrade ( ) is the
capital and largest city of
Serbia. In 4800
BC, the prehistoric
Starčevo culture emerged in the Belgrade area, later succeeded by the
Vinča culture. The site of the city was settled in the third century BC by the
Celts, before becoming the
Roman settlement of
Singidunum. The
Slavic name Beligrad (a form of Beograd, meaning White City) was first recorded in 878
AD. From the 9th to 16th centuries, it shifted between
Byzantine,
Frankish,
Bulgarian,
Hungarian and
Serbian rulership, until it was conquered by the
Ottomans in 1521 and became the seat of the
Pashaluk of Belgrade. Thrice occupied by the
Habsburg Empire between 17th-18th centuries, in 1841 (after its
liberation from the Ottomans), Belgrade became the capital of the
Principality of Serbia, which was renamed the
Kingdom of Serbia in 1882. Belgrade was also the capital of several incarnations of
Yugoslavia from 1918 until 2006.
