Đumrukana, Historic theatre in Belgrade, Serbia
Đumrukana is a theatre building in Belgrade featuring six loges with approximately 250 seats positioned to offer clear sightlines to the stage from every angle. The hall was designed so that spectators throughout the space could experience performances without obstruction.
Built in 1835 as a customs house, the structure became Belgrade's first regular theatre in 1841 under architect Nikola Živković's design. The venue closed after one year due to political changes that transformed its purpose.
The theatre presented the inaugural performance of 'Death of Stefan Dečanski' by Jovan Sterija Popović, establishing professional theatrical standards in Serbia.
The site is located near Belgrade's former dock area and is accessible on foot from the city centre. Visitors should know that the building no longer operates as an active theatre and reflects the conditions of its past.
In winter 1841, a blacksmith apprentice named Manojlo attempted to fly from the theatre roof using wings he had built himself. He landed safely in snow and survived the adventure unharmed.
