Mika Alas`s house, in 2014
The House of Mihailo Petrović, also known as Mika Alas's House, built in 1910, is a designated historic site of Belgrade located at 22 Kosančićev Venac in Belgrade, Serbia. Mathematician and scientist Mihailo Petrović (1868-1943) lived there, worked there, and died there. In the early 1900s, a Belgrade expression was, approximately, that "half of Serbian science lives at 22 Kosančićev Venac."[1]
It was designed by architect Petar Bajalović, then an assistant professor at the Belgrade University.[1]
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers can be seen from its balcony.[1]
