History: 

The Zoological Garden is situated in part of the Belgrade fortress, in Kalemegdan, the most important cultural-historical monument of Belgrade. The fortress was erected by the Romans on Celtic dugouts, and tore down and rebuilt by the Huns, Serbs, Hungarians, Turks, and all the other peoples who fought over our capital. Voban gave it its final appearance after 1717, when the Austrians occupied Belgrade. As time went by, the Belgrade fortress was gradually turning into a museum and park with walkways, its walls accommodating various institutions, and the Zoo among them. The Belgrade Zoological Garden was founded in 1936. It was founded by the mayor at the time, an industrialist, Mr Vlada Ilic. It was officially opened on St Peter's Day, 12 July. When it was formed, the Zoo covered a surface somewhat over 3.5 hectares, to be, rapidly, expanded to seven, and then, after the building of the "Kalemegdan Terrace" Restaurant and annexation of part of the Lower City, to somewhat over fourteen hectares, on which it saw the Second World War. However, during the Second World War, the Garden was bombed twice: first in 1941 by German fascists, and then by the Allies in 1944. Almost the whole animal stock was destroyed. Due to the demolition and the drastically reduced number of exhibits, after the war the Garden's surface unfortunately dwindled to some seven hectares which it still occupies. Since 1 May 1986 Mr Vuk Bojovic has been the Manager of the Belgrade Zoo Garden. He found this institution in a rather bad state. The animal stock was more than scarce, with only sixty animals, including birds. The facilities and cages were in bad repair, decrepit and useless. The neglected paths and green surfaces overgrown with weeds were ominously spelling the end. Despite the years of crisis and great problems, the Garden has managed to survive. Determination and hard work have given results. The Belgrade Zoological Garden has become one of the best arranged parts of Belgrade, a real oasis of beauty amidst a great city.
