Belgrade Youth Center, Cultural center in Republic Square, Belgrade, Serbia

The Belgrade Youth Center occupies a corner building at Dečanska and Makedonska streets, near Republic Square. Its façade carries a monumental mosaic by Lazar Vozarević, a 7 by 9 m painting by Mića Popović, brown semi-precious stones given from Africa, and Dušan Džamonja's sculpture "Sun". Inside are the Big Hall (520 seats), Americana Hall, Club, Art Gallery, a debate room and the American Corner.

The center was founded on 18 October 1964 on the corner of Dečanska and Makedonska streets, where the kafana Ginić once stood. That kafana was a gathering point for Politika journalists and the satirical magazine Ošišani Jež was founded there. The ground-floor houses were demolished for the taller Youth Center building, which was reconstructed from 2006 to 2011 and reopened on 12 March 2011.

The center functions as a gathering place where artists and visitors come together for performances and exhibitions that shape the city's cultural life. You can experience different art forms here, from theater to visual art, making it an active part of daily urban culture.

The location is easily walkable and centrally situated in downtown Belgrade, making access via public transportation straightforward. It helps to check the program schedule beforehand to see current events and opening times.

The center houses an American Corner with resources about the United States, books, and internet services through partnership with the U.S. Embassy. This special collection offers visitors rare access to American materials and cultural exchange in Belgrade.
