the national assembly

I firmly believe that visit this beautiful building inside is almost impossible, but of course you can admire it from the adjacent street. I saw it in the afternoon and in the evening when it was lit, the lights and improved the appearance of this important building. Reached by walking in 5 minutes from the Knez Mihailova, worth spend 5 minutes to take some pictures and head towards the church Crkva Svetog Marka placed just behind it.

during our stay in belgrade we pass by that building day and night time. Really impressive building. Could not see inside but nice lightened- so night time it is more beautiful.

Designed by Konstantin Jovanović in 1891. Very beautiful and very close to most of the major Belgrade.

I've never been inside, but the outside is stunning. I'd advise going both during the day and at night, because it'll give you two completely different impressions. It's in the centre, so it's really close to lots of other sites and it's easy to incorporate into a nice walking tour.

Never been inside this building but from the outside it's just great! There are fountains, gardens, parks and pretty much everything around the parliament's building. It's also very close to the main pedestrian street and also not so far away from the former foreign and defence ministries, which are still preserved as ruins, left after NATO bombings over the former Yugoslavian republic's capital.

It reminds of buildings in the central Europe. We tried to get a look from the inside but they stopped us.

Whether you see the building day or night it is a very impressive structure. Make sure you walk all around the building and take in the architecture.

The first project for the House of Commons of the Kingdom of Serbia was drafted in 1891 by Konstantin A. Jovanović. It is envisaged place on 30 November 1830 was held Grand National Assembly of Serbia which was read to the Turkish sultan's edict on the rights of Serbs and Prince Milos Obrenovic confirmed the right of hereditary Prince. In the competition for the building, according to the revised program on the area near the former Batal mosque, held in 1901, was awarded the work of John Ilkić, which is essentially a variant of Jovanović's solution. Construction of the palace began in 1907, and the cornerstone was laid by King Petar I. During World War Ilkić died in the camp in Nežider, and plans are lost. New plans to built a state, made ​​it Ilkićev son Paul, and completion of the building, especially the interior, helped Nikolai Krasnov. The building was only completed in 1936, and the first meeting was held on 20 October of the same year. The deputies were in it occupied from 1936 to 1939, while Parliament is not dissolved. It was designed in the spirit of academic traditionalism, with rich interior (architectural and artistic) decoration, carried out by then famous artists and craftsmen. In front of the main entrance is set in 1939, a monumental sculptural group Horses at Play.

The National Assembly is off limits to passers-by as it is a political hub for Serbia. Saying this if you go in the daytime you can admire the architecture and the strange sculptures outside of a man and a horse wrestling. At night the National Assembly is lit up and cascading colours hover over the dome and different parts of the structure itself. Work walking past and standing for a minute or two.

This is a very interesting building, since you get a completely different impression when you look at it in the daylight and in the evening! The light effects give you the impression that you stand in front of a place where history has been made! Also a place with a very interesting history in itself, serving as offices for a few states.

Definitely go here as it is a wonderous building to look at. It is on one of the main roads in to the city centre so can be difficult to get pictures from across the road without getting passing cars in your photo, and again it is worth going back at night as it too is all lit up.

This building looks very serious, but in fact really nothing happens here. UN really doesnt care for the Serbian national assembly opionion.

I loved to stop by this building at night and think; it's one of the most important palaces in Belgrade (and in ex-Jugoslavia) regarding contemporary history, and it is perfectly illuminated.

it looks wonderful from the outside and that is all you will get to see. it is right across the old palace, that is the house of president. I like the sculptures in front of it. In movie Belgrade from Boris Malagurski we learned it was made during long period of time by two architects.

The National Assembly of Serbia is great architectural building (for me it is one of the most beautiful parliament in Europe) and is placed in the city center of Belgrade next to the central post office building (which is also nice to check when you are there). I am surprised because here you can not read lot of reviews about this very important historical and political spot for the whole Balkan. Construction was finish 1936 and on beginning it was parliament of Yugoslavia so through many years on this place were made some of the most important political decisions. When Montenegro finally split from Serbia this building again start to be used like Serbian parliament which has remained to this days and if you are "lucky" maybe you can see some of deputies on their brake or maybe more often how they run inside of the building. At night, the lights around and inside of the parliament are simply amazing so my advice is to go there when sun goes down. P.S. One interesting thing which you probably do not know is that parliament from PC game "Half Life 2" is actually National Assembly of Serbia. The creators of this very popular game took a sketch from Belgrade and modeled exactly the same building.
