Kragujevac

Kragujevac, the main city of Šumadija, became the seat of Prince Miloš Obrenović in 1818. The Old Church and the buildings around the former princely residence recall the institutions of the emerging Serbian state. The city later developed around its arms works and automotive industry.

From capital to industrial city

Start at Milošev venac. The Old Church, the Old Assembly and Amidža’s Residence preserve different parts of the former court and civic centre. The Old Foundry museum tells the later story of local industry.

October 1941

Allow time for both the indoor exhibition and the memorial landscape. The museum explains the October 1941 shootings, and the park preserves the sites of remembrance.
