This is one of the city’s most beautiful buildings, and is Serbia’s political heart. The structure is neo-Renaissance and neo-Baroque. Thanks to the two Balkan wars, the Great Depression, and WWI it took a long time to complete it’s building – 30 years. From the outside, it’s a pleasure just to see the incredible façade; also check out the Black Horses sculpture in the front. When you step inside, you’ll be dazzled by frescoes, sculptures and furniture.

Unfortunately, tourists are generally not allowed inside, but exceptions are made on some days. Contact the Tourist Office for more details. In the meanwhile you can enjoy spending a little time in the park outside the building.

Trivia: It is thought that the building is cursed, for it’s built on the site of an ancient Roman graveyard.
