Konak kneginje Ljubice — Attraction in City of Belgrade

The Princess’s Residence was built in 1831 for Princess Ljubica who was the wife of the first Prince of Serbia, Milos Obrenovic, who secured Serbia’s independence from the Ottomans.

Interesting!). The objects inside the building are quite beautiful. Recommend to visit...
