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.

First Belgrade Gymnasium

First Belgrade Gymnasium (Serbian: Прва београдска гимназија, romanized: Prva beogradska gimnazija) is a gymnasium (Central European type of grammar school) with a long tradition, founded in 1839 in Belgrade, Serbia. Since 1938, it is situated in the center of the city, on 61 Cara Dušana Street. The Church of St. Alexander Nevsky is located next to the school. In October 1838, Kragujevac was the capital of Serbia. But despite it being the main cultural center at the time, Miloš Obrenović decided for First Belgrade Gymnasium (grammar school) to be founded in Belgrade, in an area called Dorćol (Dort-yol). The school was instituted on 18 June 1839. At that time, it was located on Jug Bogdan's Street number 26, which was the residence of Nikola Selaković. At the very beginning, it had only two grades, but in the next four years, the school's system was significantly upgraded so at the end, it had a total of five grades. It could be said that in the 1842–43 school year, the school actually became a real gymnasium. The first school professors were Vasilije Berara and Mihajlo Popović, who functioned as the school's headmaster as well. According to a law from 1844, and thanks to Jovan Sterija Popović, teachings and classes in the school were reformed, so that the 6th grade was actually added to the school's system. With this addition, First Belgrade Gymnasium received the same status like other European higher class schools. That year, the school got its first library.

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.
