    The Terazije fountain
    by Jeca011
    Terazije is another popular square in Belgrade. Until the 1830. there was nothing but swampy field far from the moat. The zone got its name from the water towers that the Turks called "terazije" (pump). The expansion of Terazije started in 1860 when the water tower was dismantled and a memorial fountain dedicated to prince Milos Obrenovic was built in its place. It’s made of white stone with initials M.O.(for Milos Obrenovic) near the top together with year 1860. In 1911 the fountain was moved to the Topcider Church churchyard. In 1975 the fountain was brought back to Terazije were it still stands as a monument and a fountain. On Terazije you can also see old famous hotel Moskva, Krsmanovic house, Anker palace.

    This stunning building was constructed in 1912. The architects who designed it are Milorad Ruvidic and Isail Fidinovic. The building was comissioned by businessman Milan Stefanović-Smederevac.

    At one point, the first floor of the building was occupied by Smederevska Banka (Bank). Since that time the building has been called by that name.

    This building is particularly stunning due to the intricate details on its exterior. The facade and the building recently recieved a much needed facelift. The renewed facade looks goregous.

    Right in the deep center there is a beautiful hotel with great facade (simply like fairytale I love it!) and a great fountain in front of it. The street is full of cafes, restaurants and shops so you can reach everything in a single minute.
    However, till the 30ties of 19 CT it was marshland and a desert plain away from the town trenches. The title Terazije comes from turkish word connected with distribution of water. The spread of Terazije began in 1860, there were built many buildings and shops and as the memory of Prince Mihailo Obrenovict he Terazije fountain replaced the wells.

    Terazi (means a pair of scales in turkish)Terazije is the most famous square in Belgrade. In order to supply Belgrade with water, the Turks built towers at intervals along the water supply system which brought water in from the springs at Mokri Lug. The water was piped up into the towers for the purpose of increasing the pressure, in order to carry it further.One such tower was erected on the site of the present drinking-fountain in Terazije and the square was named after it the Turks called their water towers terazije (scales for water).
    The water was removed in 1860 and replaced by the drinking-fountain, which was erected in memory of Prince Milos who had died the same year. In 1976, in the space between the Moskva and Balkan Hotels, the old Terazije fountain was installed.

    The old Terazije Fountain and the "Moskva" hotel. It is the heart of Belgrade, the center point of the center of the city. It is one of the oldest hotels and landmarks in Belgrade. From it goes the main street - Knez Mihailova (pedestrian center street connecting Terazije and Kalemegdan), and Srpskih Vladara leading to Slavija. That line, from Kalemegdan to Slavija is the main vein of Belgrade.

    This is 1 of Belgrade's most famous squares, packed with shops, department stores, well-known restaurants, hotels and cinemas.
    It got its name from the old Turkish word for scales.

    One more popular meeting point in the city. Fountain is located in Terazije Square, just in front of hotel “Moskva”. Duke Milos Obrenovic built it in 1861.
    Some of cultural manifestation use to take places there like on Christmas, when people try to find gold coin in “Cesnica”, bread that we prepare on Christmas.

    Go visit this place at night. It's called a square but basically it's a broad street dominated with neon-light commercials. In my opinion this is the hearth of Serbia, together with Trg Republike. Everything comes together here and at night there are still many people around. Also the "Hotel Moskva" is situated at this square, one of the better looking buildings in the city.
