Past Future Monument of the Balkans #AtlasObscura  Day 1/12 Right now I’m running a 12-day tour of Yugoslav-era monuments across Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina – and this time I’m doing it as a collaboration with @spomenikdatabase and @atlasobscura. We spent Day 1 getting to know #Belgrade. There’s an independent theatre company based inside an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, and when we arrived to explore we immediately got invited inside to watch rehearsals.
