  • Hotel “Srpska kruna” was built in 1869 as the most modern hotel in Belgrade at that time. It was a first-class hotel, built at a time when Serbia was slowly freeing itself from Turkish influence and turning towards Europe. This is the only authentic building preserved as the representative of the first modern “European type” hotels in Belgrade.
  • Located in 56 Knez Mihailova Street, it was designed in the style of academism with elements of romanticism; yet, the tradition and appearance of Turkish hans were also somewhat preserved.
  • Today, the building houses the Belgrade City Library.
