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.

The square is bordered by Kolarčeva and Knez Mihailova streets—Knez Mihailova being the main pedestrian and shopping avenue of Belgrade—and is less than 100 meters from Terazije, the city’s designated center. Republic Square is surrounded by some of Belgrade’s most important cultural institutions, including the National Museum and the National Theatre, as well as the iconic equestrian statue of Prince Mihailo, a traditional meeting point for locals. The lively area is filled with cafes, restaurants, and shops, and is a central hub for public transport with numerous bus and tram lines passing through. Nearby attractions include Kalemegdan Fortress and Park, easily accessible via Vasina Street, and the bohemian Skadarlija district, just to the east.
