The little town of Topola, 56 km south of Belgrade, was the home of the leader of the First Serbian Uprising (1804) Djordje Petrovic - Karadjordje. He had the Church of the Holly Virgin built there as his endowment in 1813 and its frescoes were painted by his brave army commander, Petar Nikolajevic - Moler. All that remains of Karadjordje's citadel is his residence with a tower and the church bell tower. A portion of the residence has been restored and now houses a museum exhibition of Karadjordje. Outside the building stands bronze cannon, nicknamed Aberdar (the herald), which was cast in 1812 in Belgrade. One of the levers of the cannon was broken off and melted down to make the crown with which King Petar I Karadjordjevic was crowned in 1904. King Petar I, Karadjordje's grandson, decided to build the Church of St. George on the hill of Oplenac, which dominates the surroundings. Work on the church was begun in 1910, and the church was finally completed in 1930. Its interior is completely covered in mosaics which depict 725 scenes, with some 1.500 figures, copied from the frescoes of 660 medieval Serbian monasteries and churches. There are two sarcophaguses in the church containing the remains of Karadjordje (1762-1817) and the church's donor King Petar I (1844-1921). In the crypt are buried King Alexandar I of Yugoslavia (1888-1934) who was assassinated in Marseilles in 1934 and 16 other members of the dynasty. Topola is well known for its vineyards and top quality wines. There is large wine cellar at Oplenac.

Half day tour (optional lunch)

There is colony of self-taught naïve painters at the Banat region village Kovacica (5 km from Belgrade). The artists are simple farming folk, who continue to fill the land, and their favorite themes are scenes from village life. The first farmer to take up a paintbrush was Martin Paluska and his example was soon followed by Jano Knjazovic, Jano Sokol and Martin Jonas. There are also women painters, notably Zuzana Halupova. These artists have had many exhibitions of their works, both group and individual and have received many awards at home and abroad. The tour usually includes visits to the homes of the artists, where many authentic artifacts of everyday village can be seen.

There is also a visit to the sales gallery. Not far away is the village of Uzdin, where ethnic Romanian village women also paint.

Full day tour

Novi Sad, the largest city in the province of Vojvodina, is 75 km of Belgrade. The Petrovaradin Fortress, situated on the bluffs overlooking the Danube River, is older than town. It was built on the foundations of an earlier Roman castum, with major construction taking place in two periods, from 1692 to 1728 and from 1753 to 1788. The fortress was so large (cover 112 hectars) and such an important stronghold that it became known as the Gibraltar of the Danube. Its military role ceased long ago, but it has since found a new lease of life as a popular attraction with museums, archives, artists, studios restaurants and a very unique hotel. During summertime music festival "Exit" is worldwide famous. Across the river on the left bank of the Danube grew up a settlement which in 1789 received the status of a free city. In grew into flourishing commercial centre of Serbia. In 1864, the Matica Srpska organization (founded in 1862 to promote the Serbian language and culture) moved to this Serbian Athens, as Novi Sad was called, complete with its art gallery, library and publishing house. Since 1861 has had a theatre, and many schools were opened in the years that followed. It is near the National Park of Fruška Gora Mountain, the beauty spot of Stražilovo and spot known as Iriški Venac. The park (25,000 hectars) is a chain of very old and heavily forested mountains. Tucked in the folds of the mountain are some 15 monasteries. They are known as new era and built in the 15^th century, most often by monks fleeing before the advancing Turkish armies, forced to leave their own monasteries in Serbia. One of the best is know as Krušedol, whose original church built in the 16^th century and is an example of Morava style, but with a bell tower and residence halls in the baroque style (18^th century). The frescoes were painted between 16^th and 18^th centuries. The spires of the churches in the town of Karlovci seem to be weaving with the peaks of the mountain covered allover with vineyards.
