The building of the Agrarian Bank was built between 1932 and 1934 as one of Belgrade's last banking palaces in the interwar period, representing state’s political and economic strength. The building project, designed as a representative business building with an angular, curved façade and a monumental entrance foyer, was made by the architects Petar and Branko Krstić. With this work, the Krstić brothers made a significant contribution to the formation of the architectural image of the Belgrade's central zone.
