  • The City Park in Zemun belongs to the protected area of the cultural and historical whole of the Old town of Zemun. It is the oldest green oasis in this part of the city.
  • On the location of today’s park, from 1730 to 1871 there was Kontumac, or the quarantine hospital. As Zemun was Austro-Hungarian border town to Serbia, the quarantine was built for the passengers and coming from across the Sava river.
  • The transformation of the Kontumac space into a park lasted until its opening in 1886.
  • There are numerous sculptures and monuments in the park, as well as two restored churches: the Orthodox Church of the Saint Archangels Michael and Gabriel (1786) and the Catholic Church of St. Roch (1836).
