Park Bristol

Bristol Park is a park located in the Savski Venac municipality of Belgrade, Serbia. The park is situated on Karađorđeva Street and is bordered by Hadži Nikole Živkovića Street and Železnička Street. It is positioned between the Belgrade Bus Station and the Lasta Bus Station. On the eastern side of the park, across Karađorđeva Street, is the Faculty of Economics of the University of Belgrade, and nearby is another park, Luka Ćelović Park. To the north of the park is the Bristol Hotel, from which the park derives its name.

Bristol Park covers an area of 12,238 square meters and underwent renovation in 2004. This park stands out as an important green space in Belgrade, not only due to its rich history and the fact that it is the legacy of one of Belgrade’s greatest benefactors, but also because of its specific location. All visitors arriving in Belgrade by bus pass through this park.

A notable feature of this park is the Cross from Mali Pijac, made of reddish stone, a monument dating back to 1862. This monument was purchased by Belgrade merchant Ćira Hristić in Pest and placed in front of the former Hotel “Bosna” as a tribute to the memory of Karađorđe’s insurgents. After the construction of the Belgrade Cooperative building, Luka Ćelović relocated the monument to this park.

Together with the Vozarev Cross, the Cross from Mali Pijac is one of the oldest monuments in Belgrade. Since 1987, it has been recognized as an immovable cultural heritage monument.
