Now it is time to return the favor to the sparrows. This brave little bird took part in one of the most important defenses of Belgrade. In the period of such low temperatures, they die of hunger, frozen, often frozen, and in the summer… In the summer, they often get stuck in the gum that people spit on all sides. There are fewer and fewer sparrows in Belgrade, they are dying out. The legend says that a sparrow was also among them. Terrible scenes, rivers of blood, and even dead bodies were on the streets of Belgrade after the fight. However, Belgrade still won on July 22, driving the enemy to the other side of the river. The losses were huge, and military leaders on both sides were killed. However, a new attack began seven days later.īattles were fought both on the ramparts and in the streets, especially after 700 janissaries penetrated the walls. The detachments of Janko from Sibiu successfully repulsed the first blow and defeated the Turkish army. The Turkish forces appeared on the other side of the Danube opposite the Kalemegdan walls. Smederevo was the capital of the country at that time. The army under the leadership of Sultan Mehmed II set out to conquer Belgrade and Smederevo. More precisely, to the summer of 1456 and the attack of the Turks on Belgrade. The legend of this symbol of Belgrade takes us back to the fifteenth century. However, one historical legend establishes that title on a special level. There are several theories on how the sparrow became a symbol of Belgrade. The bird was chosen as the symbol of Belgrade because it is small but capable of soaring to great heights and thus stands for the Belgrade spirit. But, what is interesting is the story of how and why the symbol of Belgrade became – the sparrow. Belgrade is as indestructible as the sparrow. The capital of Serbia, Belgrade, is first and foremost a historical city that has an incredible history behind it. On the other hand, the sparrow with sandals and a hook on its head is a symbol of Vrnjacka Banja. Our students expressed attachment towards this little bird in 2009 when the Serb sparrow was the mascot of the Universiade in Belgrade. These human birds also have some human qualities very often, such as diligence, liveliness, and cheerfulness. The sparrow is very present in literature, a frequent motif in the paintings of famous authors. One of the most widespread birds in the world – the sparrow, is an unofficial symbol of Belgrade.
