Manjež Park () is a public park situated in the centre of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Location Manjež is located close to downtown, in an area bounded by the Nemanjina (south), Resavska (west), Kralja Milana (north) and Svetozara Markovića streets (east). Northeast of the park is the small square of Cvetni Trg, to the east is the new Hilton Hotel, to the southeast are the kafana Manjež, building of the National Bank of Serbia and the Slavija Square behind it. West of the park are military buildings, including future location of the Belgrade City Museum, right across the park, and the Yugoslav Ministry of Defence building, partially demolished in the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia. History Modern park occupies the area which was a location of the Royal Cavalry Guard, or manjež (from the French manège), hence the name of the park. The compound originated from at least 1834, when Serbian building pioneer Nikola Živković (known as Hadži-Neimar), built the gunpowder magazine. In 1854 the magazine was relocated and the building of the Military Riding School was built instead, also after Živković's project. Horse stables were also built next to it. The Belgrade City General Ordinance Plan of 1923 envisioned the creation of a park instead. The Royal Cavalry Guard occupied the site until 1931 when the construction of the park began. It was finished by 1933. The designer was Aleksandar Krstić, a pioneer of modern landscape architecture. The park is one of the few green areas within the city, built between the World wars in the classical style. It was originally named "His Majesty, Heir Apparent Peter. In 2020, a society of Raška natives who live in Belgrade, "Milunka Savić", filed an initiative to the city assembly to erect the monument to Savić in the park. Milunka Savić was a combatant in the Balkan Wars and World War I (1912-1918), and one of the most decorated women soldiers in history, earning the moniker "Serbian Joan of Arc". City officials ignored the proposition. In November 2021, city announced the project for the block between the park and the Slavija Square. It includes construction of the 14-storey high building at the corner of the Kralja Milana and Svetozara Markovića streets, right across the park's eastern corner. Central section of the block, parallel to the outer Kralja Milana and Nemanjina streets, will include green, pedestrian passage which would directly connect park
