Palace of Serbia Traditional Cache

Palace of Serbia is used by the government of Serbia and currently houses several cabinet level ministries and agencies. The building was constructed in the mixed stripped down classicist (the main structure) and modernist (the glass domed great hall with front entrance) architectural styles. Common misconception about it being in socialist realism/Stalinist style is due to lack of such buildings in Belgrade in general. Due to Tito - Stalin split occurring before major new construction began in the city, the style, with the exception of Trade Unions Building, never took hold in Yugoslavia. While it is the most monumental building of the early socialist period, unfamiliar with Soviet construction of the time, yet familiar with the term used for it, come to this obviously erroneous conclusion. Its H-shaped base covers an area of approximately 65,000 m⊃2;, thus making it the largest building in Serbia by area covered. It has 744 offices, about 30 m⊃2; each, 13 conference rooms, six salons, three large halls and two garages.
