Two Serbian wariors (a crusader, right, and a WWI soldier, left) in front of the church in the old town of Kalemegdan, Belgrade. This church has been destroeyd several times during its 9-centuries long history, including WWI. The soldiers represent Serbian determintaion to remain Christians of Orthodox faith, despite the pressure from East and West to convert to Catholicism and Islam, respectively.
