Join me on a final walk across Belgrade's historic Old Sava Bridge before it faces demolition. Built during World War II, this iconic bridge is scheduled to be torn down starting November 1, 2024, to make way for a new structure. In this video, I capture the experience of crossing the bridge on foot.
The Old Sava Bridge is unique as the only major European bridge not demolished during the German retreats in World War II. It carries a legendary story of bravery: during the liberation of Belgrade on October 20, 1944, teacher Miladin Zarić heroically cut the detonator wire set by retreating German forces, saving the bridge from destruction.
As we prepare to say goodbye to this beloved landmark, let's honor its place in history and look forward to the future of Belgrade's ever-changing skyline.
