If you look at it from Google Earth, you will see the outlines of three smaller buildings next to the sidewalk, to the right of the monument. 20+ years ago, there used to be a very, very old Turkish bath (hamam). It was locked up and not really dilapidated, probably dating back from 19. century.knez011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-52118763100268271642012-02-17T20:42:05.052+01:002012-02-17T20:42:05.052+01:00Never in my life have I seen this in my own city. ...Never in my life have I seen this in my own city.

You've got the location right, so perhaps he was there. I'll check on the Internet.

We are talking about the stretch of the street between Restaurant "London" and Nemanjina Street, on the right hand side, correct? They must have swapped the monuments since the fall of Communism. FYI, that statue of Black George (the guy who led the FIRST Serbian uprising), prior to being placed in front of St. Sava Cathedral had been locked up in a communist warehouse for over 40 years....knez011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-26444762285980740232012-02-17T06:11:42.448+01:002012-02-17T06:11:42.448+01:00All this past with Turks...
