NIKOLA PAŠIĆ SQUARE
Trg Nikole Pašića is the central city square in Belgrade, Serbia. It is located
in the area between Terazije, the Boulevard of King Alexander and
Dečanska Street, in the municipality of Stari grad, and it is the youngest
square in the city. It was built in 1953 when a fountain was built on it.
One former mayor of Belgrade, Nikola Pasic, was named after him, who
was Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes before
the Second World War.
The first name of this square was Marks and Engels Square - after Karl
Marx and Friedrich Engels, the main communist ideologists.This name was
marketed until 1997, when a new name was designated by the Belgrade
City Assembly. In the same year, the streets that surround the square -
Boulevard of Revolution (today Bulevard of King Alexander) and Moshe
Pijade Street (today Dečanska Street) have been renamed.

In the first half of the 19th century, on the square of this square there was a
deserted meadow, crossed by the Carigradski drum. After the First World
War, in this area were mainly ground and one-storey houses. The
formation of the square began after the Second World War, when the old
buildings were demolished, the tram stop was turned, a fountain was
installed and a fence was removed in front of the National Assembly
House. According to the project, this part of the city is planned to be
opened as a pedestrian zone and be more pleasant for the citizens.
The center of the square is dominated by one of the largest fountains in
Serbia, located in front of the Historical Museum of Serbia. Some parts of
the square represent a pedestrian zone, while some parts are open to
traffic. In certain terms, parts of the pedestrian zone are transformed into
mini-fairs or at which sporting events are held.
In 1998, a monument to Nikolic Pasic was discovered.

The pedestrian section of the square is used for various public events,
most notably open flower, honey, and book sales. On occasion, artificial ice
rink or beach volley sand courts are put up as seasonal attractions in winter
and summer, respectively.
But there is something very special about the flooring in this square. The
doctrine is about mathematical illusion. similar illusions in their works were
made by the famous Moris Escher as well as the Hungarian artist Viktor
Vazareli.

Moris Cornelis Esher was a Dutch artist and
graphic artist, especially famous for his
paradoxical and impossible scenes.
Although the famous Dutch graphic artist has
never dealt with math, his wondrous works
that feature optical illusions and incredible
perspectives have always attracted
mathematicians. Especially known for his
performances of paradoxical and impossible
scenes.
Viktor Vazareli is a French painter and
graphic artist of Hungarian origin. Vazareli is
often called the father of art. In the early
1930s he settled down in Paris where he
worked as a graphic artist. Here he made his
first significant work Zebra, consisting of
curved black and white lines, indicating in
which direction he wants to continue to
create. Zebra is now considered the first part
in the genre of op art.
