The capital of Serbia, Belgrade, was visited by forty students of the 9th High School of Larisa, accompanied by four teachers, as part of a cultural program entitled: “Cultural routes in Greece and abroad. Cultural heritage monuments. Monuments protected by UNESCO”
During the stay in Belgrade, the educational group lived the experience of getting to know a foreign country outside the European Union. The children came into contact with another culture and civilization and visited the main attractions of the city.
Notable stations in the old city of Belgrade: Kalemegdan Fortress, Nebosja Tower which was a prison and the place of death of King Feraeus, Ruzica and Agia Paraskevi churches, Republic Square, Parliament, National Theatre, Princess Ljubica’s mansion and Agios Savvas, the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans.
The students enjoyed the cruise on the Danube and in the evening they went on a panoramic walk along the Danube in the Zemun area, one of the most picturesque areas of the city. They also visited the panorama of Belgrade, Dedinje, with the most beautiful mansions and the palace of King Karadjordjevic. They walked along Knez Mihailova, a favorite pedestrian street of locals and visitors with impressive 19th century buildings that now house galleries, trendy shops, but also stylish cafes and restaurants.
Then the students and the accompanying teachers visited the capital of Vojvodina, Novi Sad, a beautiful and colorful city that breathes the air of Austria-Hungary. The name Novi Sad means “New Plantation” in Serbian. It is the second largest city in the country and the capital of the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina. They were guided to the Petrovaradin castle, the much-photographed clock tower located inside the fortress, Slobodan Square, the cathedral, the Town Hall and the central pedestrian street where the building that once housed the Greek school dominates to this day.
Finally, the children had the pleasure and honor of being guided and experimenting with alternating current at the Nikola Tesla Museum, a science museum housed in an urban villa, which was built in 1927 according to the designs of Dragisa Brasovan, a distinguished Serbian architect located in the central area of Belgrade. It is dedicated to Nikola Tesla honoring and showcasing his life and work. Nikola Tesla was a great Inventor of the 20th century, a multifaceted personality, notable both for his scientific and technological work, and for the human values he espoused. He invented alternating current and fought for its spread. His name is synonymous with innovation!
The students returned excited and full of experiences, accompanied by the teachers: Paleomicha Roula, Stergioula Panagiota, Tournaviti Vasiliki and Bitou Aliki.
