The First Serbian Observatory is located in Belgrade, in 8, Bulevar oslobođenja, and it has the status of a cultural monument of exceptional importance.

In his diaries meteorological observations, climatology and statistical work, Јakšić left valuable information on climate and hydrological phenomena of his time.

Due to his efforts, the Minister of Education decided to erect a provisional meteorological and astronomical observatory for the Kingdom of Serbia in a private house at Vračar in 1887.

Milan Nedeljković continued to lead live action to raise a permanent observatory of the Advanced School, so the land for its erecting was obtained from the Belgrade municipality, on the highest point at Western Vračar.

Because of its cultural-historical, social and architectural value, the building of the First Serbian Observatory in 8, Bulevar оslobođenja is declared as cultural property of exceptional importance in 1979.
