highrise building inBelgrade ,Serbia .It is located at the north-west end of
Terazije square. It was finished in1940 . It was designed by Miladin Prljević and Đorđe Lazarević, based on the1938 project by Branko Bon and Milan Grakalić. It was the first highrise building in Belgrade and for a long time the highest one, domineering the architecture of Belgrade of the time. The origin of its name is traced back to the period before it was built, since akafana named "Albanija" previously occupied the same spot.On October 20, 1944, red flag placed on Palace Albania declared that Belgrade was liberated from the Nazis by the
Red Army and Yugoslav Partisan forces. To this day it is the highest reference point betweenTerazije and Slavija.
