Captain Miša's Mansion

The Mansion of Miša Anastasijević (Serbian: Капетан Мишино здање) is one of the most notable buildings in Belgrade, Serbia. It is home to the University of Belgrade.

The building was built in 1863. It had been originally designed to serve for the anticipated court of the grandson of Karađorđe Petrović, who was married to Captain Miša’s youngest daughter Sara. Nevertheless, following the realization of construction, Captain Miša Anastasijevic gave his mansion as a gift to “his mother country for educational purposes”. In September 1863, the Great School was moved into the building. This building is often regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in Belgrade. Today, the seat of the University of Belgrade is headquatered within its premises.
