Trg Republike
About

Trg Republike (Republic Square) is the central gathering place and symbolic heart of Belgrade, located in the Stari Grad municipality. Formed after the demolition of the Stambol Gate in 1866, the square gained prominence with the construction of the National Theatre in 1868 and was renamed in 1945 to commemorate the proclamation of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia. Dominated by the equestrian statue of Prince Mihailo Obrenović, the square is flanked by key cultural landmarks including the National Museum and the National Theatre. It connects directly to Knez Mihailova Street, the city’s main pedestrian zone, and serves as a gateway to Kalemegdan Park and Fortress. Known colloquially as “kod konja” (“at the horse”), it is Belgrade’s most popular meeting point and a venue for public events, protests, and celebrations. With its blend of historical significance, architectural heritage, and vibrant urban life, Trg Republike remains a defining space in the cultural and social fabric of the Serbian capital.
