Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic - Belgrade, Serbia - Grave of a Famous Person on Waymarking.com

Grave of Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic is located in front of the Cathedral of St. Archangel Michael in Belgrade, Serbia.

Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic (7 November 1787 – 7 February 1864) was a Serbian philologist and linguist who was the major reformer of the Serbian language. He deserves, perhaps, for his collections of songs, fairy tales, and riddles, to be called the father of the study of Serbian folklore. He was also the author of the first Serbian dictionary in his new reformed language. In addition, he translated the New Testament into the reformed form of the Serbian spelling and language.

He died in Vienna in 1864 and his remains were relocated to Belgrade in 1897 and buried with great honours next to the grave of Dositej Obradovic in front of the Cathedral of St. Archangel Michael.
