RESIDENCE OF PRINCESS LJUBICA
Go there and contact
Just a stone's throw from Knez Mihailova, this beautiful Belgrade-style residence is undoubtedly one of the most interesting historical sites in the city. Built in 1831 by Hadži Nikola Živković, one of the first architects of modern Serbia, it is one of the best preserved early 19th century private houses today. Its hybrid style is striking, mixing a rounded roof and windows surrounded by typical Ottoman alcoves with the sobriety of the European classical style. Originally, this residence of Princess Ljubica was commissioned by Prince Miloš Obrenović to house his family and his two young sons Milan and Michael. From the 20th century onwards, the residence changed its use many times: first as a high school, then as a court of cassation, followed by a court of appeal, then as a museum of fine arts and an ecclesiastical museum, and then as a hospice and finally as a historical monuments office.
Today, you can visit rooms with central European bourgeois furniture and large reception rooms on the first floor. Upstairs, don't miss the bedrooms of the princess and the children, decorated in the Turkish style with couches and oriental tapestries. If you want to have a coffee with Princess Ljubica (an actress, rest assured, the original died of grief in 1843), it is possible to attend this staging by booking at the entrance or at the tourist office of Belgrade.
