The Old House is a Hristic family house in Tijabara, Pirot. Built in 1848 for merchant Hrista Jovanović, it has been the property of the Serbian state since 1953, and in 1979 it became a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance for Serbia. After WWII, the Old House became a museum, opening to the public in 1956. It is Pirot's best preserved example of traditional architecture from the mid-19th century. Construction took two years and was completed on April 5, 1848, according to a plaque on the building's ground floor. It is one of Pirot's most luxurious mid-nineteenth century Christian houses. Due to the building's size and multiple stories, Jovanović needed permission from the Turkish authorities to construct it, resulting in its location on the outskirts of the town. More information...
