About Kosančićev venac

Kosančićev Venac is an urban neighbourhood of Belgrade in the municipality of Stari Grad, laid out along the elbow-shaped street of the same name about 700 m west of downtown Terazije. It is the oldest section of Belgrade outside the walls of the Kalemegdan fortress and has been described as the most valuable and most representative veduta of the city. In 1971 it was added to the list of Spatial Cultural-Historical Units of Great Importance, and in 1979 it was named a Monument of Culture.

What's inside

The street keeps its typical kaldrma cobblestone paving. The neighbourhood's landmarks date from the 1830s and 1840s, when the new Serbian town grew here: the Residence of Princess Ljubica was built in 1831 and the Cathedral of Saint Archangel Michael in 1840, alongside the kafana ? (Question Mark). The National Library of Serbia stood in the neighbourhood from 1925 until it was destroyed in the German bombing of Belgrade in April 1941.
