Palace Albania (Serbian: Палата »Албанија«/Palata »Albanija«) was finished in 1940. It was designed by Miladin Prljević and Đorđe Lazarević, based on the 1938 project by Branko Bon and Milan Grakalić. It was the first highrise building in Belgrade and for a long time the highest one, domineering the architecture of Belgrade of the time.

On the October 20, 1944 red flag on Palace Albania declared that Belgrade was liberated by Yugoslav Partisan forces and the Red Army. To this day it is the heighest reference point between Terazije and Slavija.
