===Cityscape===
The architecture of Kragujevac displays a fusion of many different styles. Historically, Ottoman (nowadays almost completely gone) and 19th century [[Vienna Secession]] style architecture have played an important role in the city's landscape.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kucacolovica.com/en/kragujevac-city-tour.html|title=Kragujevac-City Tour – Kuća Čolovića|publisher=Kucacolovica.com|access-date=12 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310204632/http://kucacolovica.com/en/kragujevac-city-tour.html|archive-date=10 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Newer architecture dominates the city's panorama. A blend of Viennese, Balkan as well as [[Brutalist architecture|Brutalism]] is present, as showcased in the monuments to the Kragujevac massacre.<ref name="explanders">{{cite web |last1=Westmark |first1=Omri |title=A Glimpse of Kragujevac (Photography & Impressions) |url=https://explanders.com/europe-arctic-circle/serbia/kragujevac/ |website=explanders.com |date=29 October 2020 |access-date=18 May 2022 |archive-date=11 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811210302/https://explanders.com/europe-arctic-circle/serbia/kragujevac/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Post-war concrete apartment blocks built during the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] period are prominent.<ref name="explanders" /> Today, glass office buildings reflect the ambitious business aspirations of the city.
