Veljko SAVIVĆ’S HOUSE, No. 46, built in 1869 as a residential house with shops. It went under many changes of its original look.

THE BUILDING OF THE SERBIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS, Knez Mihailova 35, built in 1923-1924, by the plans of 1912 made by Dragutin Đorđević and Andra Stevanović, in style of academism with elements of secession. The building houses: the Library of the Academy, one of the Richest in Belgrade, The Archive of the Academy with numerous materials about the history of Serbia, the Gallery of the Academy on the ground floor, with a special lecture hall, the bookstore and the antique shop.
