The area around Students' Park[1] from the mid-18th century appears as the urban rectangular shape which served as the Turkish cemetery.

The creation of Students' Park in its present form was done in 1927, after the design of the architect and the town planner Đorđe Kovaljevski.

The monument was unveiled on 9 November 1994, and at the ceremony organized on that occasion, the audience was addressed by the mayor of Belgrade, Nebojša Čović, and by Dejan Меdaković, the president of the SASA.

[3] The pedestal of the monument to Јоvan Cvijić was made of grey marble formwork, in the shape of a cube, with the simple profiles.

The monument to Јоvan Cvijić possesses artistic value as a work of an important author, as well as historical and cultural value as a testimony to a prominent person from national history.
