House of Milutin Milanković
House of Milutin Milanković

House of Milutin Milanković is a сultural monument in Serbia. It is located in Belgrade, in the municipality of Palilula, at 9 Ljubomira Stojanovića Street. The house was built in 1927 under the then newly formed "Professor's Colony". From 1926, in the area of the colony, residential buildings were erected with favourable loans of the Treasury and at first, the owners of the houses were exclusively associated with the University of Belgrade. The Professor's Colony with the radial streets system and semicircular square followed the current urban planning ideas in the third decade of the 20th century, and the idea of garden cities. The colony supposed, apart from the unified allotment, relatively unified type of buildings as well. Most of the buildings in the Professor's Colony were created on the basis of standardized projects which were built by the architects Svetozar Jovanović, Mihailo Radovanović and Petar Krstić at the beginning of 1926. The project of the house of Milutin Milanković was also signed by the architects Jovanović, Radovanović and Krstić. This is a modest villa, it was similar to other houses in the area of Professor's Colony. The facades were simple, but in terms of architectural and urban value, it represents the exponent of the idea of colonies or garden cities. The maximum value of the house lies in the fact that Мilutin Milanković (1879–1958) lived in it, a famous person not only of Serbian but also of world science, professor, academician whose interests ranged from mathematics, through building construction and reform of the Julian calendar, to the famous geophysical theory, such as the astronomical theory of the glacial era. A crater on the Moon was named after him, in his honour, as well as an asteroid in the solar system. Today, the only testimony that Milutin Milanković lived and worked in the house is a memorial plaque, since the heirs do not live in it.

Siege of Belgrade (1789)
Siege of Belgrade (1789)

In the siege of Belgrade (15 September – 8 October 1789) a Habsburg Austrian army led by Feldmarschall Ernst Gideon von Laudon besieged an Ottoman Turkish force under Osman Pasha in the fortress of Belgrade. After a three-week leaguer, the Austrians forced the surrender of the fortress. During the campaign which was part of the Austro-Turkish War, the Austrian army was greatly hampered by illness. Austria held the city until 1791 when it handed Belgrade back to the Ottomans according to the terms of the peace treaty. Several Austrian soldiers who distinguished themselves during the siege later held important commands in the subsequent French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. Belgrade is the capital of modern Serbia. At the urging of Russian Empress Catherine the Great, Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor committed the Habsburg monarchy to a war against Ottoman Turkey. In 1788, the Austrians captured one fortress and seized some territory but most of their efforts were thwarted. In August 1788, Joseph appointed Laudon commander in Croatia where that general enjoyed some successes. After the commander of the main army became ill, Joseph replaced him with Laudon at the end of July 1789 and ordered his new commander to capture Belgrade. In mid-September, Laudon's army crossed the Sava River and laid siege to Belgrade with 120,000 soldiers and over 200 cannons. At the end of the month the Austrians cleared the Ottomans from the suburbs. In the face of a destructive bombardment, Osman Pasha negotiated the surrender of the city on 7 October in exchange for allowing the garrison free passage to a Turkish fortress.
