The picture below shows three main churches in Beograd,
two of them still represented by now almost default ones - Kronstadt sobor and Bartolomew in Pilsen, as placeholders:



As for the river port in Beograd. I mentioned above, it concerns this one -at Danube east of Sava river:

[Radoye]

No, that did not exist then.

Here's an aerial photo from 1944 that shows the bridge over Danube (originally King Peter II bridge, destroyed in 1941, rebuilt by Germans, then destroyed again in 1944 and rebuilt once again post-war):



As you see, there is no port.

@Radoye:
 thank you very much, so Avala was correct when did not draw Danube port   on Mymap_c.tga. I need not to create it now, so saving the time.

I think that  the Sebia map suitable for mission and campaign builders is near completion now. I decided not to add any further landsmarks such as castles and monasterys - there is 1500 objects - small villages , which Avala placed and populated, this seems quite enough.
Or are there any objects which anybody  suppose to be necessary to add to the map before release, please?
Your and other community members opinions would be apreciated on this matter.

[Radoye]

Sounds good. The bottom line is that any such objects can be added later if really needed, there can be a v2.0 of the map.

I just remembered something, do you have yet the Nis Fortress?

[Uzin]

Niš fortress is very nice, unfortunately , Niš is out of the boundary of Avala's Serbia map, where the most south town included is Podujevo.

[Radoye]

Actually, Podujevo is some 60 km southwest from Nis, on the road from Nis to Pristina just inside the Kosovo border...

[Uzin]

Sorry, it should be:
 SE end of Avala's map is somewhere at Bonik, Lebane.
The edge is about half the way between Krusevac and Niš, which  is excluded.

[Radoye]

OK i see, i thought that might be the case.

Dear Ivan,

I like to express my appreciation for all your efforts and hard work in continuing Avala´s work. I would like to ask you or somebody of your friends at Aviaskins if they could do the Belgrade Airport/Terminal building from Dojno Polje as they did marvelous work on St. Sava church. I tried and would like to post some pictures from the building and of the replication of same on display in Aviation Museum in Belgrade, but I am not allowed to. I think Radoye and many others would welcome this "small" additional work.

Thank you for your appreciation of our common work on Avala's map.
Any info about the terminal at Donjo Polje would be appreciated as far as it concerns the state in 1941, the time period  the map is for.
As far as I noticed here in the thread , the suitable placeholder of the terminal could be that at Tri Duby of Slovakia map, perhaps except of the size of the object..
You will be allowed to post your info here at SAS after you will send at least 5 post, if I am true.

Well, the airport building was from pre war times as Radoye already posted two pictures I think. There are only few pictures available from the building, although it was built in 1931, partialy destroyed by american bombing raid in 1944 and was present until airport clousure in the sixties. The building and the hangars were teared down for the new buldings built at New Belgrade.

[Radoye]

One of the hangars still stands today:







Here it is in the context of the airport, with the terminal building visible as well:



Terminal building:



1944:




Another important Belgrade landmark - the old Fairgrounds:



You see the King Alexander bridge (destroyed 1941), and the Belgrade port. Kalemegdan is in the extreme left of the photo, and in the upper right corner is the King Peter II bridge across Danube. The rivers are extremely high and there is some flooding around both Sava and Danube. The Fairgrounds are near the bottom of the picture. During the war they were converted into a concentration camp.









All that remains today:
