| It is located at the very center, in the old core of the city. The older citizens know it as Pančićev Park. In the Turkish time, there has been their graveyard, removed in the middle XIX century. Then the largest and most famous market has been made on one part of today's park (it was not removed until the thirties of the XX century). The first urbanist of Belgrade, Emilijan Josimović, had in mind something more "aesthetic" than a market, so after 1869, when the regulatory works began, he made the Great Market half shorter, and turned the remaining part into a park. The park got first urban outlines at the end of the XIX century, when the monument dedicated to Josif Pančić was placed there, and it was finally shaped in the thirties of the XX century, when the monument to Dositej Obradović was transferred from Kalemegdan and when today's baroque fence was made. |
