Descriptive Note Text
The pavilion was in the Serbian-Byzantine style and was constructed on the designs of Professor Tanaseric of the University of Belgrade. The plan is arranged around a single nave. The arcade of the building was designed around elongated arches, shaped by arabesques and friezes, painted and in stucco. These arches were crossed, horizontally, by alternating polychrome strips. Five little cupolas, greenish in color, with the central one being the tallest and most slender, decorated the building – which was perceived as original and charming in its distinctly exotic appearance by contemporary fairgoers. In front of the building was an elegant terrace from which one could enjoy the magnificent panorama.
