West Vračar

Zapadni Vračar was located in the area which today covers the northern part of the municipality of Savski Venac.

Belgrade's rich went hunting wild geese to the unnamed pool, nowadays the crossroads of Kneza Miloša and Kralja Milana's streets.

Where the Zeleni Venac market is today, at the beginning of the 20th century was a pool, as well as the site of an unsuccessful attempt of the construction of the National Theatre.

[1] A densely urbanized block was built right above the Slavija square, along the Kragujevac Road, modern Liberation Boulevard.

In the triangularly shaped area between the boulevard and Tiršova and Katićeva streets, a massive building of the Teacher's Center was built, "a jewel of architect Nikola Nestorović".

The triangular area was hit on 6 April 1941 during the German bombing of Belgrade, and after two days of fire, completely burned to the ground, while the Roš' mansions across the street survived.

Original plans envisioned much more sculptural ornaments on the façade, but during the construction the project was reduced to the more plain appearance.

It was designed by architect Momir Korunović, known as the "Serbian Gaudi", and is today considered his best public service object in Belgrade.

Kindergarten, school, theatrical hall and numerous offices were located in the building, designed by Alois Mezera [cs].
