Description
I took this photo once when I visited Oplenac, a hill in Topola, a small town in the heart of Serbia which is known for the famous vineyards of the royal dynasty Karadjordjevic as well as for the church of St. George, so it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Serbia.
These stairs and a paved path between decorative white granite pillars, and greenery in the beautiful park lead from the King's villa to the villa of Queen Maria on the Oplenac hill near Topola in Serbia. These two villas were built for the needs of the Serbian royal family Karađorđević. The Queen's Villa, the country house or the Queen's Villa is a spacious one-story building surrounded by porches on three sides that are flush with the roof and was built in 1926. In this building, Queen Maria most often stayed with the crown prince Peter and princes Tomislav and Andrej.
Around the villas, there is a forest, which emphasizes its simple beauty even more. The Queen's Villa and the King's Villa are today under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, and the family of His Highness the Crown Prince Alexander sometimes stays there.
