Military Hospital, Vračar

Military Hospital at Vračar (Serbian Cyrillic: Војна болница на Врачару) is located in Belgrade, in the territory of the city municipality of Savski Venac, built in the period from 1904 to 1909.

[1] Dr Roman Sondermajer[2] came to Serbia from Poland in 1889, and in his autobiography he wrote that "the hospital and opportunities I found there made a terrible impression".

It was an example of a modern architectural concept of the hospital of pavilion type and the first continentally-achieved spatial composition based on double symmetrical buildings and architecturally-solved main entrance, set in the axis of Svetozar Marković Street.

The functionality of the interior space maximally satisfied the most demanding requirements of the medical service at the beginning of the last century, and well designed solutions and compliance of architecture with the purpose have still not been entirely overcome until today.

In the period of its construction, this complex received high recognition by domestic and foreign experts and was considered the most modern hospital in the Balkans.
