Royal Palace, Royal palace in Dedinje district, Belgrade, Serbia

The Royal Palace (Kraljevski Dvor) is the main building of the Dedinje Royal Compound, built 1924–1929 in Serbo-Byzantine Revival style to designs by Živojin Nikolić and Nikolay Krasnov. Its facade is clad in white Brač marble; the central bay projects above the wings, with an arched porch over the main door and three arched windows above. A colonnade of semicircular arches links it to the Royal Chapel of Saint Andrew.

The palace was commissioned by King Alexander I in the 1920s and constructed over several years by two architects following his vision. The building reflects the aspirations of a newly formed Serbian state during that era.

The palace contains rooms named after colors, such as the Blue and Golden rooms, where visitors can see Renaissance artworks displayed on the walls. These spaces reveal the tastes and interests of those who lived and worked here.

The Royal Palace stands in the Dedinje Royal Compound on the highest hill of Dedinje, beside the White Palace, on a 135-hectare estate. It is not a freely walk-in museum: the compound is the residence of Crown Prince Alexander, so visits are organised as guided tours and should be arranged in advance. The Royal Chapel of Saint Andrew is attached to the palace by a colonnade of semicircular arches.

The Royal Chapel, dedicated to Saint Andrew, was used as a storage room for cleaners and gardeners during the Communist era. A bullet hole in Christ's forehead and scratches on an angel's wings remain visible, left as symbolic acts of the period.
