We  begin our walking tour and podcast in Belgrade’s Kalemegdan, the  ancient fortress peering out over the confluence of the Sava and Danube  Rivers. In her book, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, published in 1941, Dame  Rebecca West provides us with a short history of Kalemegdan —from the  Romans to the Ottomans to the Serbs—and actor Melanie Preston reads an  excerpt for you. As we walk down into Dorcol, Stefan Sablic—cantor of  the Belgrade synagogue, Ladino singer and musician—will accompany us.
