Dedinje is known to be not just historical, but also an up-scale area of Belgrade. It extends over the slopes of Topčider Hill and belongs to the municipality of Savski Venac. The expansion of the settlement begins after the First World War and is intensified during the construction of the Royal Compound of the Karadjordjevic family from 1924-1936. Many wealthy Belgraders: industrialists, bankers, traders, politicians start building luxurious summerhouses, and eventually real family villas.

Dedinje includes Tito’s mausoleum which is a part of the Museum of Yugoslav History and a post-war residential area.

In this tour, visitors will get to know more about the history of Dedinje and the specific architecture of villas from the period of the Kingdom of Serbia, as well as from the period of Communism. In addition, visitors will have an opportunity to take a guided tour of the Gallery-Legacy of Petar Lubarda.
