The Serbian Garden features a central plaza with a marble cube and circular concrete seating.

The garden also holds a number of busts featuring notables such as King Peter I, founding father of Yugoslavia (1844-1921). Another is poet Petar II Petrovic-Njegos, an Orthodox Prince-Bishop and ruler of Montenegro (1813-1851).

My favorite bust is dedicated to inventor, engineer and genius Nikola Tesla...

Beautiful place to go see, but the neighborhood it's in is terrible! Bad choice on that...
