Topčidersko Brdo

Topčidersko Brdo (Serbian Cyrillic: Топчидерско Брдо; pronounced [tǒp.tʃi.der.skoː br̩̂.do]) is an urban neighborhood and former municipality of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

Topčidersko Brdo (from Turkish and Persian, topčider meaning "cannonier's valley") is located 4 km (2.5 mi) south-east of downtown Belgrade to which it is directly connected through the Kneza Miloša street.

Northern slope, in the valley of the former creek of Mokroluški potok (now conducted underground) was occupied by the former neighborhood of Jatagan Mala which was demolished to make way for the new interchange on a highway, Mostarska Petlja and a new railway station of Prokop.

The road section on the northern slope, between Senjak and western part of Točidersko Brdo, is today named Bulevar Vojvode Putnika.

Members of the affluent families began to build villas along the Kragujevac Road, modern Bulevar Oslobođenja, trying to avoid the busy life in downtown.

Construction gained momentum after World War I, and in the 1920s, splendid mansions with arranged gardens were built by the bankers, rich merchants, higher clerks and rentiers.

Today, the continuous Topčider-Košutnjak parks and forests make the largest "green massif" in the immediate vicinity of Belgrade's urban tissue.
