Akademija 28 — Wednesday, October 7 at 7:30 PM — BELGRADE: FROM TOWN TO METROPOLIS

Belgrade of the 19th and early 20th century steps out of the textbook and into a lively conversation about how the city transformed from a border town into a modern European capital. Jovana Milovanović and Nikola Piperski discuss urban planning, architecture, new squares, palaces, and neighborhoods, as well as the people, ideas, and everyday habits that reshaped the city’s identity. This is more than a story about buildings — it’s about the way of life that emerged alongside modern Belgrade.
