Belgrade, Serbia
It was unveiled in 1986. It has inscriptions on both Serbian and Hungarian language. It was dedicated to the successful defence of the Castle of the Belgrade Fortress against the Turkish attack in the night between July 21st and 22nd, 1456. Even sultan Mehmed II was injured during this attack, so he ordered his army to retreat. As a result, Belgrade became “Antemurale Christianitatis”, i.e. the rampart of Christianity.
