Although each part of the city has its own peculiar charm, it is the street called Stari Korzo that has a special meaning to the locals, much the same as Skadarlia has to Belgradians, Plaka to Athenians and Montmartre to Parisians. Every corner and every lane brims with new tourist attractions: museums, galleries, remains of the past and 19th century buildings all immersed in the city’s contemporary way of living.
Wherever you go in Eastern Serbia, from the Danube to the mighty Djerdap, and further on to the enchanting villages deep in the Homolje Mountains, you will encounter a lot of interesting things. One of those is the city of Pozarevac, a place where reality merges into legends, and it is sometimes difficult to make the distinction between the two…
WELCOME TO THE CITY OF GOOD WISHES!
Milena Pavlovic – Barilli Art Gallery
This art gallery is situated in the house where famous artist Milena Pavlovic-Barilli was born. It is in the city centre, right next to the Museum. In 1962 the artist’s mother Danica donated this house to the City of Pozarevac, and later it was turned into a commemorative gallery. The majority of Milena’s paintings are exhibited here. Milena lived and worked between the two world wars. Milena was born over a century ago, in 1909, as the only child of Danica and Bruno, an Italian composer. She lived both in Pozarevac and Rome, as her parents were separated. The separation of her parents had a great impact on Milena and her later work. Her restless spirit took her to Spain, London, Paris, Venice and the US, where she died in 1945. In the US, Milena worked as an illustrator for the most prestigious woman fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Charm and Glamour. She was also a costume designer for ballet performances.
Ljubičevo Stables
Ljubicevo is one of the oldest horse farms in Serbia. It was established in 1860, by the Prince Milos Obrenovic at his “Morava” estate located next to the Great Morava River, 5 km away from the city. Its purpose was to enhance equestrian sports by breeding pure breed horses. Later on, his son Mihailo, in honour of his mother, princess Ljubica, named this 300-hectare estate “Ljubicevo”. A residence built on this estate was named Ljubica’s residence. There are also several stables in which the prince kept his horses. In the beginning of the 20th century, this horse farm with its 500 horses became one of the most respectable institutions of its kind in Europe. Some of its most famous horses were: Ljubicevac, Kastor, Ramoz and Hajdzan. A monument honouring Ljubicevac (the horse that won Triple Crown and was known as “the unbeatable galloper”) is located in the center of this oasis of peace, among its many lanes which are perfect for taking strolls.

The Archeological Site of Viminacium
Viminacium is an archaeological site located in the vicinity of Stari Kostolac, 12 km away from Pozarevac.

Tens of thousands of inhabitants lived in Viminacium, while the military camp around which the town was originally founded, was the headquarters of Claudius 7th Regiment. Viminacium was destroyed in 441 by the Huns, and although it never fully recovered from such a serious destruction, it was rebuilt as the frontier settlement in the times of Justinian the First, in 535. A.D. It continued to exist as such, all the way until its end. Archaeological excavation conducted at this place revealed 14.000 graves and 50.000 objects, 1000 of which were made of gold. All the movable artefacts, marble sculptures, gravestones and sarcophagus, as well as the jewelry and vessels, are kept in the National Museums in Pozarevac and in Belgrade.
