Location

History

The area of the present neighborhood was designed in the last years of 1970s, and is a prime example of late Modern architectural style. Once considered one of the most modern and beautiful boroughs of Belgrade, in the 1990s, together with the deteriorating socio-economic conditions of the country, Cerak Vinogradi saw the effect of low maintenance, degradation of the environment, etc.

Authors (M. and D. Marušić and N.Borovnica) won The October prize (Cyrillic: Октобарска награда) for the Cerak Vinogradi project in 1985.

Initial archeological work discovered a previous settlement at the site, dated to lower Paleolithic period and Vinča culture. Due to architectural-urbanistic value, the area is under the regime of "full protection", meaning complete preservation of the area, with no changes (possible use changes inside particular objects, with preservation of the authenticity and architectural values of the object) - Criteria K2, K8, K6.
