When you go to Terazije Square from Nikola Pašić Square in the center of Belgrade, there are several options.
One of the possibilities, at the same time the shortest route, is through the passage between the buildings, through the famous Bezistan.
Designed and built in 1957 on the site of former buildings destroyed in World War II bombings, this covered square has been a quiet refuge between large squares for years.
There were cafes, the largest Belgrade cinema Kozara, various souvenir shops, sweets and handicraft shops...
And so my entire childhood.
When we went to our friends' birthday parties in our primary school years from 1983 to 1991, we bought badges, printed shirts, interesting toys, hats and scarves in Bezistan.
