Description
The Pobednik (English: The Victor) is a monument in the Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, Serbia. It is one of the most famous works of the Croatian sculptor, Ivan MeÃ
¡troviÃâ¡. The statue was originally supposed to be placed on the Republic Square, but ended up at Kalemegdan Fortress after people complained about its nudity. This statue, holding a dove of peace on one hand and a sword of war in the other hand, and looking forward across the confluence of the Sava and the Danube, and over the vast Pannonian plain, towards the very distant FruÃ
¡ka Gora mountain, is probably the most powerful, most popular visual symbol of Belgrade.
