The Royal Palace (Serbian: Краљевски двор / Kraljevski dvor) is the official residence of the Karađorđević royal family.[1] The palace was built between 1924 and 1929 by order of Alexander I, King of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.[1] It is the main building in the Royal Compound, part of the Dedinje neighbourhood of Belgrade. Designed by Živojin Nikolić and Nikolaj Krasnov, the palace is an example of Serbo-Byzantine Revival architecture.[2]
