Palata Atina Stambeno-poslovnu zgradu podigao je trgovac Đorđe Vučo 1902. godine, prema projektu arhitekte Dimitrija T. Leka. Ovo je jedna od najlepših beogradskih palata ko- je se ne bi postidela ni Venecija. U prize- mlju se dugo nalazila poslastičarnica Ati - na , koju je otvorio sicilijanski poslastičar Antonio da Franko, a koja je nazivom ču- vala sećanje na zemlju čijim su jezikom prvobitno govorili investitor i projektant. Tridesetih godina 20. veka bila je preime- novana u kafe Difranko , a posle joj je vra- ćen prvobitni naziv. Mnogi pamte piroške koje su mogle da se kupe u prizemlju ove palate. I Atina je 1979. godine utvrđena za kulturno dobro od velikog značaja za Re- publiku Srbiju. Palace athens This residential and commercial building was erected by merchant Đorđe Vučo in 1902, according to the design of the ar- chitect Dimitrij T. Leko. One of Belgrade’s most beautiful palaces, it wouldn’t look outclassed even if it stood in Venice. The ground floor long housed the “Atina” [Ath- ens] cake shop, which was opened by Si- cilian confectioner Antonio da Franco and carried a name that preserved the memo- ry of the language that had originally been spoken by the investor and designer. It was renamed Difranko café in the 1930s, only for its original name to be restored at a later date. Many still recall the Pirozhki buns that used to be sold on the ground floor of this palace. Palace Athens was also declared a cultural monument of great importance to the Republic of Serbia in 1979..
Palata Albanija Zgrada koja zaokružuje ambijent Terazija, ali započinje i zonu Knez Mi- hailove ulice, jedan od repera Beograda, u vreme kada je podignuta, 1940. godine, bila je najviša zgrada na Balkanu. Ime je dobila po istoi- menoj kafani koja se nalazila na ovom mestu, ali zvaničan naziv u vre- me podizanja bio je zgrada Hipotekarne banke Trgovačkog fonda u Be- ogradu. Zbog velikih polemika u javnosti najpoštenije bi bilo da se kaže da su je projektovali arhitekte Miladin Prljević, Branko Bon, Milan Graka- lić i inženjer Đorđe Lazarević. Zahvaljujući izvanrednoj konstrukciji, pre- živela je savezničko bombadovanje 1944. godine, a od 1984. je spome- nik kulture. Palace Albania This building, which crowns Terazije’s ambience, but also marks the start of the zone of Knez Mihailova Street, is one of Belgrade’s major land- marks. At the time of its construction, in 1940, it was the tallest building in the Balkans. Named after the Albanija tavern that was previously located on the same site, during the period of its construction it actually carried the official name of the Building of the Mortgage Bank of the Trade Fund in Belgrade. Given the great public controversy surrounding its design, it would be fairest to say that it was designed by architects Miladin Prlje- vić, Branko Bon, Milan Grakalić and engineer Đordje Lazarević. Officially classified as a cultural monument since 1984, it was only thanks to its ex- traordinary structure that it survived the Allied bombing of 1944.

Krsmanovićeva kuća Kuću podignutu 1885. godine u duhu arhitekture akademizma prema pro- jektu Jovana Ilkića, jednog od najpo-
znatijih graditelja Beo- grada, kupila su braća Krsmanović 1898. godi- ne. Bogato dekorisana i spolja i iznutra ima repre- zentativan izgled, a sa dvorišne strane ima dva sprata i balkon sa baro- knom balustradom koja se nastavlja u dvokrako stepenište. Kuća je pri- vremeno služila kao dvor kada je kraljeva reziden- cija bila oštećena tokom Prvog svetskog rata. Ta- ko je upravo u ovoj ku-
ći proglašeno ujedinjenje južnih Slove- na u jedinstvenu državu 1918. godine. Zbog svojih arhitektonsko-urbanistič- kih i kulturno-istorijskih vrednosti pro- glašena je za kulturno dobro od velikog značaja za Republiku Srbiju 1979. Krsmanović house Built in 1885 according to a project of one of Belgrade’s most famous ma- sons, Jovan Ilkić, this house was con- structed in the spirit of academic archi- tecture and bought by the Krsmanović brothers in 1898. Decorated richly, it has a representative exterior and interi- or look, while the courtyard-facing side has two floors and a balcony with a ba-
roque balustrade that extends to form a U-shaped staircase. The house tempo- rarily served as a royal court, which was damaged during World War I. That’s how it came to be that the proclama- tion of the unification of the southern Slavs into a single state took place in this house in 1918. It was declared a cul- tural asset of great importance to the Republic of Serbia in 1979, in recogni- tion of its architectural-urbanistic and cultural-historical values.
