Summary: SVETLANA V. NEDI

THE COMMERCIAL (PROMETNA) BANK BUILDING
The Commercial Bank (Prometna Banka) building at the corner of Knez Mihaliova and Zmaj Jovina streets was designed by the distinguished Belgrade architect Danilo Vladisavljevi. Its construction in 1911 was entrusted to the building
contractor Karlo Knoll. The exterior was designed in the Sezession style, while the floor layout was designed to suit the
buildings purpose. The ground floor contains three shops (with additional rooms on the mezzanine level) and the bank
reception hall, while the two upper floors house offices. Since the Bank, founded in 1895, ceased operating after the Second World War, the building has had several users. As an important work of Belgrade architecture, it was designated as a
cultural asset in 1984, and underwent restoration in 1986 according to a project by the CHPIB architects Zoran Jakovljevi
and Slobodan Perovi.
