Đumrukana, Historic theatre in Belgrade, Serbia
The Đumrukana theatre building features six loges and includes 250 seats arranged to provide direct views of the stage from every position.
Originally constructed as a customs house in 1835, the structure transformed into Belgrade's first regular theatre in December 1841 under architect Nikola Živković's direction.
The theatre presented the inaugural performance of 'Death of Stefan Dečanski' by Jovan Sterija Popović, establishing professional theatrical standards in Serbia.
Located near Belgrade's former docks, the theatre operated for one year between 1841 and 1842 before political changes led to its transformation.
During winter 1841, a blacksmith apprentice named Manojlo attempted to fly from the theatre's roof using self-made wings, landing safely in snow.
