Summary/Abstract: This essay represents highlights in a century old literary map of Belgrade. Chronologically selected literary works show the development of urban image, caused by different developments and tendencies of twentieth century literature as well as by history, social and cultural changes. Cultural clashes, between the inherited one and the culture of the individual are causing the city metamorphosis portrayed in the Serbian literature of XXI century. In the „novel about Belgrade” or „Belgrade novel” the new hero or character will be born. Looking into the old or contemporary of the city, it will try to find the true self in the big city and identify itself with the Belgrade as it is.
