Jokanovića kuća

Jokanovića kuća is a two-story residential building in central Užice featuring traditional South Slavic architectural characteristics and rooms furnished from the 19th century. The building displays typical regional style elements and contains original period furnishings throughout.

The house was built during the second half of the 19th century as a residence for the Jokanovic family, prominent wine merchants in the region. The family played an important role in the city's commercial life during that era.

The house displays how wealthy merchants lived and worked in Užice through furnishings and objects spanning from 1850 to 1920. The rooms show the social habits and tastes of this merchant family during that period.

The museum is located next to the city art gallery and is easy to reach in the town center. Guided visits help explain the building's architecture and the daily routines of its former merchant residents.

The building received monument status in 1988 because it represents one of the few remaining examples of South Slavic residential architecture in Serbia. This official recognition reflects its importance to the region's architectural heritage.
