Brutalism is an architectural movement born in 1954 that introduced the aesthetics of the so-called exposed raw concrete.
The Yugoslav strand of the movement took hold from the 1960s when numerous reinforced concrete buildings began to be designed and constructed throughout the country.
The Genex Tower in Belgrade is a 35-storey skyscraper built in 1977.
It is the second tallest residential building in Serbia with a total height of 154 meters.
It consists of two buildings and are connected on the 20th floor by a bridge and a revolving restaurant that was active until the late 1990s.
Its real name is Western City Gate, but it is called Genex Tower by everyone thanks to the advertising sign of the Genex real estate group at the top of the building.
The structure resembles a door to indicate the entrance to the city for those arriving from the west. The building, in fact, is clearly visible for those arriving by car from Nikola Tesla Airport.
Avala Tower is located almost 20 km from Belgrade.
Built in 1965, it was demolished during NATO bombing in 1999 and was for a long time the tallest building in the Balkans.
On the same site, a new tower identical to the previous one was built in 2008.
The tower is a masterpiece of architecture whose section has the shape of an isosceles triangle.
Equipped with two elevators and a restaurant set up at its 119th meter, it allows you to observe Belgrade and green Serbia from above. The total height of the Avala Tower is in fact 205 meters.
