Special Venues: Ložionica

A reimagined railway depot turned event venue

Mar 1, 2026

THE HEART OF BELGRADE’S CREATIVE ECOSYSTEM

Ložionica is Serbia’s first creative-industries hub reimagining the concept of a cultural hub in Belgrade. Once a historic railway depot, the modern venue is now a landmark creative centre. Since its inauguration, the venue has hosted world-class international cultural and musical events. In its first 114 days, Ložionica already hosted 30,000 visitors. The Belgrade-based AKVS studio designed this new architectural marvel in the heart of Belgrade. The centrepiece of the venue is the state-of-the-art Black Box, a 619 m² multifunctional space.

The space adapts seamlessly to events of different sizes, formats, and concepts, making it highly functional for organisers and engaging for audiences. Its distinctive architecture, accessibility, and carefully designed infrastructure allow creativity to unfold without technical or spatial limitations. In spring 2026, the venue will inaugurate an outdoor amphitheatre with a capacity of over 10,000 visitors, designed for cultural gatherings, thereby bringing Ložionica even closer to the city’s everyday life.

A driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Ložionica was once a key engine of the Second Industrial Revolution, servicing steam locomotives – the cutting-edge technology of its time. Today, that same space has been reimagined as a driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, centred around creativity, innovation, and knowledge. The dialogue between heritage and contemporary expression is essential to Ložionica’s identity.

The space offers a slew of meeting halls and foyers, with standout halls including Peron, with 170 seats, and the exhibition space, with a capacity of up to 400 attendees in a banquet setting. The spacious foyer, stretching 450 square metres, can host up to 250 attendees for a standing banquet. Ložionica is redefining the meaning of a cultural hub, becoming a preferred choice for event planners in Serbia and beyond.
