National Assembly of Serbia, front view
King Peter I took the initiative that to the area near the place where once located a large-Batal mosque, build a building that would serve the purpose as the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Serbia. The first project of the future House of Representative was made by the architect Konstantin Jovanović in 1891. His plan later was little changed for technical reasons, because of a new state constitution which requires a bicameral instead of the unicameral legislature. In the new competition in 1901, won the second architect, Jovan Ilkić, under whose plan constructed building assemblies. The original design of the house was drafted by architect Konstantin Jovanović in 1891, but financial difficulties prevented its construction at the time. A new design was proposed by Jovan Ilkić in 1901, following a constitutional amendment and the creation of a bicameral parliament. Following the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1918, the size of the parliament was considerably enlarged and the original design under construction deemed inadequate. A modified design was made by Ilkić's son Pavle Ilkić in 1920 and construction was resumed until its completion in 1936.[1] A sculpture by Toma Rosandić, Igrali se konji vrani ("Play of Black Horses"), was placed in front of the building in 1939.
