Facts and practical information

Princess Ljubica's Residence, nestled in the heart of Belgrade, Serbia, is a cultural and architectural gem that offers a glimpse into the country's regal past. This 19th-century palace was built between 1829 and 1831 for Princess Ljubica Vukomanović, the wife of Prince Miloš Obrenović, one of Serbia’s most significant rulers during the Ottoman period.

The structure is an exquisite example of Balkan architecture, with a blend of Oriental and European styles, reflecting the transitional period of Serbian society from Ottoman to Austro-Hungarian influence. The residence is characterized by its ornate facade, traditional motifs, and the symmetrical layout typical of the period's urban dwellings.

Once the epicenter of political and social life, Princess Ljubica's Residence is now a division of the Belgrade City Museum. It has been meticulously preserved and transformed into a museum showcasing period furniture and personal items belonging to the Obrenović dynasty. Visitors can explore the lavishly decorated rooms, which have been restored to reflect the ambiance of a 19th-century noble household.

The palace also serves as a venue for various cultural events, including exhibitions, lectures, and workshops that aim to educate the public about Serbia's rich history and cultural heritage. It is not only a treasure trove for history enthusiasts but also an essential landmark that represents the nation's journey through time.
