We continue in our style. We wrote about Savamala "Creative District" and Beton Hala restaurants on the riverfront in our previous articles. Today, we showcase more of Belgrade creativity. Some of local municipalities decided to redecorate gray facades of buildings and support public art. With a help of graffiti and street artists this town is becoming more colorful and arty.

Our Favorite graffiti the "Ghosts of Savamala"
La Santa de Belgrad is one of the trademarks of Belgrade. Located in Karadjordjeva street. Created by artist Giom Olbi Remed.
“I have search some information, about the history and architecture of Belgrade. Then I learnt, that it has been destroyed and rebuild 38 times in her history.. So this ” santa” inspired from an icon of the city my friend sent me, has several hands and a hidden black face. Between her legs, an egg from which goes out life and civilization. One hand is holding it, protecting it…One other hand is sending lightening on the city to destroy it, but in her sleeve, there s a white flag of peace…One of her other hand, is holding her breast, as a mother giving milk, feeding the city…but hidden in her sleeve, a big gun, war weapon…Then the top hand, is also sending lightnings destroying the city, but from her sleeve, a free bird is going out to fly and spread peace !”, wrote Giom Olbi Remed.
