Keys Handover Memorial, Memorial sculpture in Kalemegdan Fortress, Serbia.
The Keys Handover Memorial features a white marble block with a carved drawing located at the entrance of Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade.
The memorial marks the location where Ottoman authorities transferred the keys of Belgrade, Smederevo, Šabac, and Kladovo fortresses to Prince Mihailo Obrenović in 1867.
The handover of fortress keys symbolizes a crucial moment in Serbian independence, representing the transition from Ottoman control to Serbian administration.
Located near the main entrance of Kalemegdan, the memorial includes inscriptions detailing the event and names of the fortresses involved in the transfer.
A small earth mound surrounded by thujas trees marks the exact spot where the key exchange ceremony took place, just meters from the memorial.
