The Kalemegdan planetarium Attraction

Belgrade Attractions - The astronomical Society "Rudjer Boskovic" is also involved in amateur observational work. For this purpose, within the society, in 1964 the National Observatory from the list Belgrade Attractions was established, which is to this day located in the adapted Despot's tower on Kalemegdan. The Belgrade Kalemegdan Planetarium from the list Belgrade Attractions is located at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube rivers, in the lower town of the Kalemegdan fortress (below Ruzica Church and the Chapel of St. Petka) since 1970.

The astronomical Society "Rudjer Boškovic" is one of the oldest astronomical societies in Europe and the oldest in the Balkans. When it was founded, by a group of students in 1934, the society had only a few members, while today it brings together more than 700 astronomy lovers and fans. The main role of this society is to popularize astronomy.

The astronomical Society "Rudjer Boskovic" has been issuing a yearly magazine, “Vasiona” starting from 1953. It has been wildly popular as a science magazine.
