 | |  |  | Stari Grad: Students square and park | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
This is the oldest of Belgrade's squares. In Turkish times, it included an enclosed area for prayers and the Turkish cemetery, which remained here right up to the 1860s. In 1824, the Serbian authorities set up a market-place in one part of what is now the Students Park, and this later became the Great Market, one of the oldest and largest in the town. During the systematic planning of Belgrade in the years after 1869, the shape of Student Square was made more regular. One half contained the Great Market while the other was converted into a park. Then as later, the most beautiful feature of the square was Captain Misa’s building. After the removal of the market in 1927, the park was extended to cover the whole space. At the Uzun Mirkova Street corner of the square, there was a famous restaurant, the Unity. This was demolished in 1935 to make way for the Stock Exchange building, which today houses the Ethnographic Museum. Leave a Comment

| | | | Stari Grad: ~KONAK KNEGINJE LJUBICE~ | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
This a well kept and newly renovated residence of a Serbian princess. Princess Ljubica was the wife of Prince Milos Obrenovic. Her residence was built in 1831 under the order of her husband. The residence was designed by Hadzi Nikola Zivkovic.
The palace is built in Balkan style with a subtle western Baroque influence. Once Aleksandar Karadjordjevic came to power in 1842, the palace's purpose changed. It was used to house the Lycee, the Court of Cassation and Appeal, the Art Museum, the Church Museum, a home for the elderly, and the office of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments.
The palace was renovated in 1974. It is now part of the Belgrade City Museum. The Belgrade City Museum organizes exhibitions, lectures, music evenings, promotions, and other events at the palace.
