Residence of Princess Ljubica
Конак кнегиње Љубице
A Balkan-Ottoman style mansion from the 1830s, with a Turkish bath and noble furnishings that show how the upper class lived at the time.
The Residence of Princess Ljubica was built in 1829 to 1831 by Prince Miloš Obrenović for his wife, Ljubica, and their sons. It is one of Belgrade's best-preserved buildings from the first half of the 19th century. The architecture blends Balkan-Ottoman traditions with European elements, including a two-story divanhana hall with bay windows, carved wooden ceilings, and a Turkish bath (hamam). The rooms display 19th-century noble furniture, carpets, and portraits, showing how Serbia moved from Ottoman customs toward European ways of life. Admission is inexpensive, though check locally for current prices. Getting there: next to the cathedral, within walking distance. Note: usually closed on Mondays. The courtyard occasionally hosts summer concerts.
