Belgrade City Walk, Gathering and Sightseeing

Here are buried Mlan Obrenovic (the eldest son of Milos Obrenovic) and the couple King Alexander I Obrenovic and his wife, queen Draga. On the place where the church stands today in 1830 was read the sultans’ edict which announced Serbian autonomy within Turkey.

The House of the National Assembly, one of the most monumental edifices of the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia, was built between 1907- 1936. The history of its construction, with numerous interruptions and project modifications, and with the participation of the most important national architects of the first half of the twentieth century, symbolically represents history of the Serbian, and then the Yugoslav state and their parliamentary life. With its exceptional architectural and artistic qualities, the palace stands out in the architectural environment of the capital city.

Already in 1892, the Ministry of Construction entrusted the implementation of this project to the architect Konstantin A. Jovanovic, but due to political turmoil and financial difficulties, the erection of the building was postponed for several years, when the architect Jovan Ilkic was assigned to perform this task.

The Old Palace, the Royal Palace of the Obrenović dynasty of Serbia, presently housing the City Assembly of Belgrade, is situated at the corner of Kralja Milana and Dragoslava Jovanovića streets. It was built between 1882 and 1884, according to the design of Aleksandar Bugarski.

By its external architecture the building is one of the most beautiful achievements of academism in Serbia of the XIX century.

The ‘Victor’ monument is certainly the most recognisable symbol of Belgrade. It was created in the years before the First World War, but its formation took an unusually long time. The monument honouring the victory of the Serbian army in the Balkan wars was originally conceived as a fountain, which was to be placed in the very centre of Belgrade, on Terazije. The task was entrusted to one of the most important artists from the beginning of the 20th century, the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. By the beginning of the First World War, he had cast the central part of the fountain in the form of a naked male figure holding a sword in his right hand (a symbol of war) and a falcon in his left hand (a symbol of peace) — the Victor.
