Belgrade's history has always been determined by its geographical position: located on the confluence of the Danube (2nd largest river in Europe) and Sava (former Yugoslavia's largest river), divided between Balkans and Central Europe (Old City and Zemun), the rivers have separated its people for centuries and brought many war ships along. The confluence is also believed to be the place where Atilla the Hun was burried, as well as the place were some of the first bombs in WWI have fell.
