Knez Mihailova Street is a pedestrian zone, shopping center and street legally protected as one of the oldest and most valuable city monumental ambiences, with a number of representative buildings and cottages built in the late 1970s. It is believed that even during the time of the Romans, this was the center of the settlement Singidunum, and in the time of the Turks in this area were streets with gardens, fountains and mosques. In the middle of the 19th century here in the upper part was the garden of Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic. After the development of the Belgrade Regulatory Plan, which was made by Emilijan Josimovic in 1867, the street was quickly built and got its physiognomy and content. It builds houses and inhabits the most influential and richest families of commercial and political Belgrade. In 1870, the city administration officially baptized the street giving it the name - Knez Mihaila Street.
