| The building for the Railway Station was constructed in 1884, on a reclaimed area of what used to be the "Bara Venecija" (Venice pool). It was made by the ideas of the Viennese architect von Schlicht and the plans of the architect Dragutin Milutinović, the professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the Great School in Belgrade. In that time, it represented a very successful solution, by the harmony of architectural forms (in the manner of classical architecture) as well as by spatial organization. It is in the group of architectural projects which, in the Principality and later Kingdom of Serbia, represented the first acceptance and development of technical achievements of Europe of that period. |
