Palilula, Urban municipality in Belgrade, Serbia
Palilula is an urban municipality occupying the northern portion of Belgrade and spreading across both banks of the Danube River, making it the city's largest administrative district. The area contains mixed residential neighborhoods, green spaces, and commercial zones that blend together to form a diverse suburban landscape.
The area emerged during the Habsburg occupation in the 18th century under the name Karlstadt, beginning as an agricultural settlement. Over time it transformed into an urban district as the city expanded and infrastructure developed to serve growing residential needs.
Saint Mark's Church, built between 1931 and 1940, stands as a central religious landmark in Palilula, displaying Serbian-Byzantine architectural elements throughout its structure.
The district connects well to central Belgrade through various bus routes including lines 23, 25, 77, 16, 65, and 95. Trolleybus lines 28 and 40 also serve the area, offering reliable transportation to other neighborhoods throughout the city.
Ada Huja, located outside the built-up area, contains thermal springs alongside remains of a Celtic cemetery that Romans later adapted for public bathing. This site preserves layers of history from different periods that shaped the region.
