Belgrade Planetarium, Planetarium in Lower Town of Belgrade Fortress, Serbia
Description
The Belgrade Planetarium sits within a circular dome structure built below the Danube slope of Belgrade Fortress in the lower town area. The dome serves as a projection screen for astronomical presentations and cosmic displays visible from inside.
History
The structure was originally built as a Turkish bath in 1867 and later served military purposes during World War I. It underwent reconstruction in 1964 to become an astronomical observation facility.
Culture
The facility operates under the Astronomical Society Ruđer Bošković and presents educational programs about space and celestial objects to visitors of all ages. Regular shows and presentations help people explore the night sky and cosmic phenomena in an accessible way.
Practical
Visitors should plan ahead as group reservations are needed for visits and individual attendance at shows requires checking program schedules in advance. Operating hours and presentation times vary depending on the type of astronomical program being offered.
Did you know?
The projection chamber was creatively built within the original Turkish bath structure, transforming the historic dome into a screen for cosmic imagery. This adaptive reuse connects centuries of architecture with contemporary astronomy in an unexpected way.
