Two royal complexes - one in the city (the Old Palace and the New Palace) and another in the neighborhood Dedinje (the Royal Palace, the White Palace and the Royal Church), were once the residences of the Obrenović and Karađorđević dynasty. Both city complexes were located in what was once the royal garden, which became a public park during the Second World War, and from then on it was called Pionirski Park (Pioneer Park).
