[1] Gradić Pejton is located 2 kilometers south-east of downtown Belgrade (Terazije), beginning on the corner of the Makenzijeva and Čuburska streets, right across the small Čubura park.

It is an artisan settlement with many small shops and many of them are practicing crafts which are now rare and slowly dying out in big cities like Belgrade: stamp-cutters, printmakers, framemakers, keymakers, glassblowers, etc.

It was built from 1968 to 1971 by the architect Ranko Radović (1935-2005) who, in the period of the most massive building of the concrete dwelling blocks in Belgrade's history, decided to make a commercial complex completely made of wood, and to blend it into the Čuburski Park.

The city government announced in 2005 that it will tear down the entire Gradić Pejton and build a parking, cultural center and a kindergarten instead.

This prompted the swift reaction of the Belgraders who oppose the demolition of the neighborhood even though it is currently in bad shape, which was used as a pretext by the city architect Đorđe Bobić.
