Old Post Office (Belgrade)
Old Post Office, is a former building in Belgrade, modern-day Serbia. Located next to Belgrade Main railway station, it was considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings and symbols of the city.[2][3] Built in Serbo-Byzantine Revival, Post Office was mostly destroyed by Allied bombing of Yugoslavia in World War II and later reconstructed in 1947[4][5] in Stalinist architecture[6][7][8] which was favored by the new Communist regime.[9]
