Architecture Tour of Avala Mountain and New Belgrade
This private tour explores brutalist and structuralist architecture around Avala Mountain and New Belgrade, ideal for architecture enthusiasts.
Description
Discover architectural styles shaped by the ideology of former Yugoslavia during the socialist era. Visit the Avala Telecommunication Tower on Avala Mountain, Belgrade’s tallest peak, offering panoramic views from its observation deck. The tower was destroyed during the 1999 NATO bombings and rebuilt in 2010.
Cross the Ada Bridge over the Sava River, the largest single-pylon bridge in Europe, featured in a Discovery Channel documentary. Explore the gates of Belgrade, including the Western Gate with the Genex twin towers connected by a skybridge on the 26th floor and the Eastern Gate with the Rudo buildings, all key examples of brutalist architecture.
See the Sava Center, the first significant conference center in former Yugoslavia, built for the 1977 Conference on European Security and Cooperation, notable for its polyhedral structural design. Stand before the Palace of Serbia, formerly the Federal Executive Council, a monumental example of late modernism representing the governing ideology. This was the first post-WWII project in New Belgrade.
