Here I go again flitting into doorways. This is a stairway inside an old building (dated 1901) near the main railroad station.

Photographically speaking, one of your best, the lighting and the angle and the details are just superb. I'm so glad you captured this before it disappears.
LA public library has an old photo collection of the area. I wonder if there is anything like that on Beograd. (http://www.lapl.org/ - browse the photo collection)
I just love the twirling ironwork at the bottom !
i too love (old) stairs...and dark ones and dirty ones too.
This is a beauty, especially the way its lit. Lovely.
