This group of exceptionally imposing residential buildings is known as the "Eastern Gate of Belgrade" because, during the Yugoslav era, it marked the easternmost edge of the city's urban development. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Serbia's economy stagnated, and Belgrade did not expand further eastward. Yugoslavia had a penchant for turning residential buildings into landmarks, not just commercial centers, TV towers, or monuments. I’ve always wondered—what social class lived in these monumental apartment blocks back then? Were they respected, well-to-do citizens, or just workers from nearby factories?
