It is located on the tripoint of Belgrade's municipalities of Zvezdara, Palilula and Vračar, and served by the underground Vukov Spomenik railway station.

Below the modern monument and railway station, there is an underground water well, sort of a "twin" of the better known Roman Well in the Belgrade Fortress.

[6] At the time, the neighborhood was known as Kamenović, after the kafana of the same name, which was located in the boulevard between Molerova and Stiška (today Golsvordijeva) streets.

[7] On 7 November 1937, on the corner of the Bulevar kralja Aleksandra and Ruzveltova street, a monument to Vuk Karadžić (by sculptor Đorđe Jovanović), a major reformer of Serbian language, celebrating 150 years of his birth, was erected.

[8] The original intended location for the monument was the Academic Park in 1932, in front of the Belgrade University's Rectorate Building.

New location, and the fact that the monument is on the edge of the park, facing the street, made the sculptor Jovanović very upset with the city administration.

He was present at the liturgy in Alexander Nevsky Church, but was absent from the unveiling at the location, and a ceremonial gathering at the Ilija M. Kolarac Endowment.

[7] The entire neighborhood developed into an academic area, as University Library, Archives of Serbia and Technical faculties are located here.

The statue and the entire memorial complex were in bad shape, aggravated by the hasty works in 1995, when the hurried construction of the underground railway station was in progress.

The bronze statue wasn't treated properly, while the low-quality stone was used for paving the pedestal and the surrounding stairs and plateau.

[8] Apart from its academic function, Vukov Spomenik is one of the busiest traffic spots in Belgrade, being on or near the crossroads of some of the most frequently used transportation routes (Bulevar kralja Aleksandra, Ruzveltova, Kraljice Marije, Cvjićeva streets).

Ornamented garlands divide the façade and architrave beam is cut in order to enhance the Empire style gable.

They are physical, manual and construction day laborers, who gather at the park, along the Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, at least since the 1960s.
