House of the National Assembly, Parliament building in Stari Grad, Belgrade, Serbia
The House of the National Assembly is a parliament building in Stari Grad, central Belgrade, marked by its symmetrical layout with a central dome and two side wings. Classical columns line the main facade and give the structure a ceremonial character.
The foundation stone was laid in 1907 under King Peter I Karađorđević, but World War I interrupted construction for many years. Completion of the building stretched until 1936.
The building's name reflects its role as the seat of Serbia's parliament and anchors it firmly in Belgrade's political life. Visitors can admire carefully crafted sculptures and ornamental details on the facade that reference Serbian tradition.
Access to the complex is usually restricted because it serves as an active government seat, but the exterior can be viewed easily from the street. Approaching on foot from the city center allows you to explore the facade at your own pace.
Architects Konstantin Jovanović and Nikolay Krasnov combined academic art with baroque revival elements to create a distinct ensemble. Krasnov originally came from Russia and brought international influences into the design.
