Royal Palace

About

The Royal Palace in Belgrade, built between 1924 and 1929, is a striking example of Serbian-Byzantine architecture commissioned by King Alexander I. Nestled in the elite Dedinje district, the palace was designed by architects Živojin Nikolić and Nikolay Krasnov and funded privately by the king. Today, it serves as the residence of Crown Prince Alexander and his family. The palace complex includes the Royal Chapel of Saint Andrew, richly adorned with frescoes inspired by medieval Serbian monasteries. Inside, the palace features opulent salons in Baroque and Renaissance styles, a grand dining room, and libraries decorated with artworks from the royal collection. Surrounded by pergolas, terraces, and gardens, the palace offers sweeping views of Košutnjak Forest and Avala Mountain. Declared a cultural monument in 2010, the Royal Palace remains a symbol of Serbia’s royal heritage and architectural grandeur.
