THE MILITARY HOSPITAL - SURGERY PAVILION

The building of the Surgery pavilion of the Military Hospital of Niš is located in the vicinity of “Ćele Kula” (the Skull Tower) and in the yard of the present-day Military Hospital. The building was erected in 1907 according to the designs of the Belgrade architect Nikola Nestorović. The building is a free-standing structure in space, and it was designed and built as a hospital building. It was built using the most contemporary building materials of the time.

At the time when it was built, by the beginning of the 20th century, as a public health care building it was a true representative of the building philosophy of the time. The building was designed in the spirit of the new aspirations of the new class of urban citizens, with façade s containing elements and details of Neo-Romanesque architecture.

The building still serves its original function.
