- House in 34 Skadarska Street is one of the oldest and most famous houses in Skadarlija. The renowned Serbian poet and painter Đura Jakšić (1832-1878) lived and died in this house.
- At that time, this whole area was a poor city borough called Ciganska mahala, and Đura Jakšić was perhaps the first of the famous Belgrade bohemians to live in it.
- The bronze monument of Đura Jakšić, placed in front of the house in 1990, is one of the symbols of Skadarlija. It was made by sculptor Jovan Soladatović.
- Today, the House of Đura Jakšić plays a significant role in cultural and artistic life of Belgrade. It frequently hosts various programs, such as literary evenings, recitals, theater performances and art exhibitions.
