Western City Gate

Western City Gate, also known as the Genex Tower, is a 36-storey skyscraper which was designed in 1977 by Mihajlo Mitrović in the brutalist style. It is formed by two towers connected with a two-storey bridge and revolving restaurant at the top. It is 115 metres tall and is the second-tallest high-rise in Belgrade. The building is designed to resemble a high-rise gate greeting people arriving in the city from the West (the road from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport to the city centre leads this way).

This building always reminded me of some medieval tower that's made to guide the city and warn us about potential dangers. Western City Gate will forever be a guardian to the city of Belgrade.
