Бајракли џамија
Built around 1575 when Islam was the majority religion, it's now the only mosque in Belgrade. Bajrakli means "with flag" - the muwaqqit calculated the exact time of Islamic observances and hoisted a flag to advise the other city mosques, whereupon each muezzin called from their minaret to those within earshot. It's been smashed up several times, most recently in 2004 during the Kosovo conflict, but restored.
Саборна Црква Светог Архангела Михаила
The Cathedral Church of St Michael the Archangel is Orthodox, built 1837-40 in neoclassical style with a richly-decorated interior. Buried in front of the church are two notable Serbian linguists, Vuk Karadžić and Dositej Obradović.
Народни Музеј
Founded in 1844, it has more than 400,000 items on 3 floors. It's organised into Paleolithic, Ancient History, Middle Ages and Modern.
The south side of the National Museum is the city's main plaza. The equestrian statue is of Prince Mihailo Obrenović (1823-1868), who negotiated the withdrawal of Ottoman troops from Belgrade. The city Cultural Centre also fronts onto the square. In spite of the imposing buildings, it's a drab concrete expanse thronged with traffic along Francuska.
Sephardic Jews settled in Belgrade from the 16th century, as the Ottomans welcomed those fleeing Spanish persecution. The Ashkenazis arrived in numbers from the 19th century, escaping Tsarist Russia, and completed this synagogue in 1924. It's still active, but now closed to visitors because of the risk of attack. (It's the same story with the Jewish Museum at Kralja Petra 71a.)
