Palace Albanija (Serbian: Палата Албанија, Palata Albanija, literally "Palace Albania") is a high-rise building in Belgrade, Serbia. Important construction and architectural innovations were incorporated into the project, which made Albanija an exceptional building endeavor in the Balkans.[1] When completed in 1939, it was the first skyscraper in Southeast Europe.[2] It remained the tallest building in Belgrade for 3 years, until being surpassed by BIGZ building in 1941. It remained the tallest building in the old part of Belgrade for the next 34 years, until being surpassed by the Beograđanka ("Palace Belgrade") in 1974.[1][3]
Palace Albanija was declared a cultural monument in 1984. As for its importance for Belgrade, it was built on the pronouncedly dominant architectural position, marking the spatial-urban accent of Terazije square, which made it one of the most recognizable symbols of Belgrade.[1][3] It was also described as the symbol of Belgrade's golden age, and the crown of the economic growth of Belgrade during Interbellum.[4]
