Bezistan (Serbian Cyrillic: Безистан) is a roofed square and indoor passage in downtown Belgrade, Serbia that was designed by Vladeta Maksimović in 1953.

Nicknamed by architects as the "belly button of Belgrade", Bezistan has been placed under preliminary protection as a potential cultural monument.

[5] Venues along the outer sides of the passage include the former Hotel Kasina, Terazije Theatre, Dom Sindikata with its large hall and multiplex cinema, and the pedestrian Nikola Pašić Square with a fountain.

[8][9] During the interwar period, city decided to connecting the Terazije with a new square that would be constructed in front of the National Assembly.

[8][12] The small shops were placed in rows along the edges of the area, including the Soko Štark's confectionery store.

In 1959, a round plateau with a fountain was added; it featured the bronze sculpture, "Girl with the Seashell", by Aleksandar Zarin [sr].

To cover the plateau and foundation, Maksimović designed a concrete webbed roof, shaped like a semi-opened dome.

For decades, illegal vendors scalped movie tickets and sold pumpkin and sunflower seeds, popcorn, and sweets in front of the Kozara.

When the popularity of the Italo disco reached Belgrade, the club organized dance competitions for participants from Yugoslavia.

[3][5] Cinema Kozara closed in 2003; it was purchased by Croatian tycoon Ivica Todorić but was never developed before it was destroyed by a fire on 25 May 2012.

[4] In August 2022, the city announced plans to turn Bezistan into an art gallery, but the reconstruction remained "nowhere in sight".

[20] Further problem became the illegal usage of Bezistan as a parking lot, despite being a pedestrian zone, and not even easily accessed by cars.

[21][22][23] There is a separate section that forks from Bezistan at the entrance to the Nikola Pašić Square, along the western wall of the Dom Sindikata building.

[24][25] In May 2012, a group of artists organized a photography exhibition with images of rock musicians and the antiwar activist Goran Čavajda Čavke [sr].
