The Academic Park is located in the southernmost center of Belgrade (in the old town core) within the Student Square.
The park is located across the Captain Mishin's building, the headquarters of the Rectorate of the University of Belgrade, while on the other hand, it exits to the building of the former Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Significant archeological remains were found at this site, both objects for everyday use, as well as sculptures, as well as Roman termees that date from the II and III century. The site is clogged.
He was also known as Pancic's Park, and is also known as the Student Park, as well as the Academic Park. During Turkish rule there was a Turkish cemetery, which was removed in the mid-19th century. Then, in one part of today's park, the largest and most famous market was created (removed only in the 30s of the 20th century). The first urban planter of Belgrade, Emilijan Josimovic, thought that this space was more representative of the market, and after 1869, when the works on the regulation began, he cut the Great Market by half, and the rest was turned into a park. It is interesting that the market is moved somewhat lower, to the place where today the elementary school "Mihajlo Petrovic Alas", just below the Museum of Vuk and Dositej. This market was known as the "John's Market". She disappeared with the construction of the mentioned school.
The first urban contour park was acquired by the end of the 19th century, when a monument to Josif Pancic was discovered there, and it was definitely shaped in the 1930s by transferring the monument to Dosite Obradovic from Kalemegdan and raising the present Baroque fence. The monument to Josif Pancic was set in 1897 and his author is the Serbian sculptor Djordje Jovanovic. The monument to Dositej Obradovic was discovered on June 9, 1914 at the entrance to Kalemegdan Park, and its author is sculptor Rudolf Valdec.
