A modernist block projects on the corner, its address board and the city name running up the return. Along its ground floor the fascias read Narodni Magazin twice, Jugofilatelija and Ruza, all in Cyrillic, with a further sign at the left. A baroque church tower with a dome stands behind the older roofs, and Zastava 750s and other cars are parked at an angle to the kerb while men in overcoats cross the road.
About this place
The street running off Liberty Square, named for King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and carrying the name still. The archive's cards look along it toward the spire of the Name of Mary Church, with the tram in the roadway and shop awnings down the left side. Under the occupation of 1941 to 1944 the street carried Adolf Hitler’s name, and the archive’s wartime photograph of it is filed here under that period. Under socialist Yugoslavia the street carried the name Ulica narodnih heroja, which a separate street about 120 m south-west carries today, so a caption using that name has to be dated before it is placed. The pin is the OpenStreetMap line of the street itself.
