A favourite place with parents and nannies to take kids out for a walk. The park is laid out between St. Mark Church, Russian Church, Central Post Office (built in 1934), Children’s Cultural Centre, Duško Radović children’s theatre, children’s amusement park, a sports centre featuring indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the main building of the state-run TV company (hit in 1999 bombing). In 1830, the Ottoman Sultan's charter on the internal independence of Serbia was read out at Tašmajdan. For ages (since Roman times) it served as a quarry deep bellow the ground and doubled as a cemetery above (Tašmajdan means quarry in Turkish). The cemetery was relocated to the present New Cemetery in late 19th century. The cave and caverns below the park (an area of about 3000m², up to 10m in height) had once been used as food depots, military arsenals and shelters. Regrettably, tours of these fascinating underground chambers are not available at present.
