Millennium Tower (detail) - Belgrade

Five Millennium Towers were erected by the Hungarians, one in Budapest, and one in each corner of its empire, to mark 1000 years of rule. This tower in Zemun, a suburb of Belgrade, marked the southern boundary.

As evidenced by the picture, the Empire has long since disappeared, and the Serbs hold little reverence for this part of their history.
