Locat­ed oppo­site the Nation­al Assem­bly, it was the roy­al res­i­dence of the Obren­ović and KaraÄ‘orÄ‘ević dynas­ties from 1884 until 1922. It is now the seat of the Bel­grade City Assem­bly, and the plateau in front of it is often used to wel­come Ser­bian ath­letes and musi­cians after suc­cess­ful com­pe­ti­tions abroad.
