Jokanovića kuća

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jokanovića kuća (The house of Jokanović's), is one of the oldest buildings in Užice. Jokanovića kuća was the property of the one of the richest merchant families of Uzice in the second half of XIX century - the Jokanovic family. It is also known under the name "peccara" (The Jokanovics family traded, besides other things, with wine and brandy and owned a couple of inns in Užice). This house is one of the rare representative houses from XIX century, not only in Užice but wider as well. Due to its emphasized ethnography characteristics, the building has been declared a national cultural heritage. Jokanovića kuća is in the very center of the town, next to the City Art gallery.
