caption_attribution_description: English: Univerzitetska biblioteka„Svetozar Marković“ je naučna biblioteka Univerziteta u Beogradu i nalazi se u zgradi u Bulevaru kralja Aleksandra 71.Na inicijativu našeg poslanika u Vašingtonu, dr Slavka Grujića, Karnegijeva zadužbina, koja je do tada već izgradila čitav niz biblioteka u svetu, prihvatila je da odobri 100.000 dolara kao poklon srpskoj vladi za gradnju i opremanje jedne biblioteke u Beogradu. Profesor dr Slobodan Jovanović, tadašnji rektor Univerziteta, uspeo je ličnim zalaganjem da ta materijalna sredstva uveća državnim kreditima, kako bi se izgradila jedna veća biblioteka, koja bi zadovoljila potrebe Univerziteta. Grad Beograd je poklonio zemljište, a projekat su uradili profesori univerziteta, arhitekti Dragutin Đorđevići Nikola Nestorović. Tako je podignuta prva i tada jedina zgrada u Srbiji, namenski sagrađena za biblioteku. This is a photo of Cultural Heritage site of Serbia number СК 136
context_page_description: Belgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers and the crossroads of the Pannonian Plain and the Balkan Peninsula. Nearly 1.7 million people live within the administrative limits of the City of Belgrade, a quarter of the total population of Serbia.
  One of the most important prehistoric cultures of Europe, the Vinča culture, evolved within the Belgrade area in the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, Thraco-Dacians inhabited the region and, after 279 BC, Celts settled the city, naming it Singidūn. It was conquered by the Romans under the reign of Augustus and awarded Roman city rights in the mid-2nd century. It was settled by the Slavs in the 520s, and changed hands several times between the Byzantine Empire, the Frankish Empire, the Bulgarian Empire, and the Kingdom of Hungary before it became the seat of the Serbian king Stefan Dragutin in 1284. Belgrade served as capital of the Serbian Despotate during the reign of Stefan Lazarević, and then his successor Đurađ Branković returned it to the Hungarian king in 1427.
context_section_description: Belgrade has two state universities and several private institutions of higher education. The University of Belgrade, founded in 1808 as a grande école, is the oldest institution of higher learning in Serbia. Having developed with much of the rest of the city in the 19th century, several university buildings are recognised as forming a constituent part of Belgrade's architecture and cultural heritage. With enrolment numbers of nearly 90,000 students, the university is one of Europe's largest.
  The city is also home to 195 primary (elementary) schools and 85 secondary schools. The primary school system has 162 regular schools, 14 special schools, 15 art schools, and 4 adult schools, while the secondary school system has 51 vocational schools, 21 gymnasiums, 8 art schools and 5 special schools. The 230,000 pupils are managed by 22,000 employees in over 500 buildings, covering around 1.1 million square metres (12 million square feet).
