The
Residence of Princess Ljubica was erected by order of Miloš Obrenović
in 1831. The edifice used to be a private residence of Princess
Ljubica, Prince Miloš's wife. Contractor Hadži Nikola Živković did
the construction. By its architectural composition and arrangement,
the palace belongs to the Balkan style, with some western Baroque
elements. Since then up
to 1980, the purpose of the edifice has been changed. At present, the
Palace displays interiors of the Belgrade rural homes of the 19th
century, from the Oriental (Turkish), through the influences of the
Mid- (Biedermeier) and the Western Europe (neo-baroque, neo-rococo,
Napoleon III and alt-Deutsche style). The Palace basement, “Vault
Hall”, is a remarkable ambient area, where The Belgrade City Museum
organizes exhibitions, lectures, music evenings, promotions, and other
happenings. The building
is located in the Belgrade centre, on Kosančićev venac, and has been
registered as a cultural monument. |
