The site is bordered by Jovan Cvijić Street, Despot Stefan Boulevard, Mitropolit Petar and Zdravko Čelar streets. It was designed and built by the architect Svetozar Jovanović (1892-1971), professor at the Technical Faculty and one of the Colony’s first inhabitants, on the initiative of Vladimir K. Petković, Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, between 1926 and 1929. Many prominent Belgrade University professors also lived there, such as Milutin Milanković, Vladimir Ćorović, Milan Budimir and others.Not specifiedNot specified90130SerbiaYugoslaviaBelgradePalilulaMaksimović, Branko (1983): Ideje i stvarnost urbanizma Beograda 1830-1941.
