Slavujev Venac

Slavujev Venac (Serbian Cyrillic: Славујев Венац) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Zvezdara.

Location

Slavujev Venac is located in the easternmost section of Zvezdara municipality, bordering the municipality of Palilula. It is located between the streets of Svetog Nikole on the north and Dimitrija Tucovića on the south and borders the neighborhoods of Bulbuder on the east, Vukov Spomenik on the south, Hadžipopovac (in Palilula) on the west and New Cemetery (Novo groblje) on the north (and Bogoslovija further).

Characteristics

Slavujev Venac got its name after nightingales, which apparently were abundant in the area as the two nearby neighborhoods (Bulbuder and Slavujev Potok) are also named after them (Serbian slavuj, Turkish bülbül).

The area is residential. In 2007, Belgrade city government confirmed that area remains scheduled for the individual residential (family) houses only, to prevent construction of high and large buildings so that area could preserve its historical looks.
