Old Palace

About

The Old Palace (Stari Dvor) in Belgrade is a prominent 19th-century landmark that once served as the royal residence of the Obrenović dynasty. Built between 1882 and 1884 under King Milan I, it was designed by architect Aleksandar Bugarski in the academic style, reflecting the aspirations of a modern Serbian monarchy. The palace later became the official residence of the Karađorđević dynasty before transitioning to a civic role. Today, it houses the Belgrade City Assembly and the Mayor’s Office, maintaining its political significance. Despite damage sustained during both World Wars, the palace has been carefully restored, preserving its elegant façade and richly decorated interiors. Located in the heart of the city, near Pioneers’ Park and opposite the New Palace, it forms part of one of Belgrade’s most historically significant squares. Though not regularly open to the public, its architectural grandeur and royal legacy continue to make it a key symbol of Serbia’s cultural and political heritage.

Location

The Old Palace (Stari Dvor) is located at the prominent corner of Kralja Milana and Dragoslava Jovanovića streets in downtown Belgrade, directly facing the New Palace. Built between 1882 and 1884 as a royal residence for the Obrenović dynasty, this architectural landmark now houses the City Assembly of Belgrade. The palace is surrounded by Pionirski Park, offering a green oasis in the city center, and is just steps away from the National Assembly and other major government buildings. Its grand façade, rich in classical details such as Doric columns and ornate balconies, stands as a prime example of 19th-century academism in Serbia. The area is vibrant and easily accessible, with nearby attractions including the Republic Square, the National Theater, and the bustling Knez Mihailova Street, making the Old Palace an essential stop for those interested in Belgrade’s royal and civic history.
