Tasmajdan ParkLocated between Takovska, Ilije Garasanina, Beogradska streets and Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra. Park has got its name Tamajdan from Turkish: ta - stone, majdan - pit. In the catacombs left after the excavations of stone blocks, arsenals and military warehouses have been located for a long time, and these catacombs have been also used as shelters and first-aid places for wounded soldiers. During the siege of Belgrade in 1806, Karadjordje set a camp and pitched his tent here. After the Second Serbian Insurrection, Knez Milo Obrenović started to build a Serbian town district in Savamala and about 1826 ordered that the old Serbian cemetery be moved from Varo-kapija to Tamajdan. At the plateau of Tamajdan, the old St. Mark's Church was built in 1835 (destroyed in the bombing of Belgrade on April 6, 1941). On November 30, 1830, at Tamajdan, the Sultan's hatierif (charter) on the internal independence of Serbia was read. In 1909, the first Seismological Station was built, and it still exists today. At Tamajdan and around it, there are today the St. Mark's Church (the new one, built in 1931-1936), the Russian Church (1924), the Main Post Office (1934), the Sport Center "Tamajdan", the "Ta" and "Metropol" hotels, the "Madera" restaurant, Radio-Television of Serbia, children's amusement park... You can see many Rock Doves in here.
