Princess Ljubica's Residence, Ottoman-style residence in Stari Grad, Serbia.
Princess Ljubica's Residence is a three-story building with large bay windows facing the Sava River and traditional Ottoman architectural details throughout. Its rectangular form and structural features define how the house appears from both outside and within.
The house was built between 1829 and 1830 under Prince Miloš Obrenović's direction and served as home for Princess Ljubica and their sons. Political changes in 1842 ended the family's time living in this building.
The rooms display furniture and household arrangements from the 1800s that show how the royal family lived between Ottoman traditions and European habits. You can see this transition reflected in how the spaces were furnished and used.
The residence is located at the corner of Kneza Sime Markovića and Kralja Petra streets and is now open to visitors as a museum. Its management by the Belgrade City Museum ensures organized access and proper care of the spaces.
The building contains an original Turkish bath with preserved painted decorations that was added in 1836 during its time as a royal residence. This bath is a rare example of Ottoman bathing culture preserved within Belgrade's architecture.
