 Summary:
 The basic morphological structure of the central city core of Niš was conditioned by the historical development of the city, the position of the originally built fortifications and urban structures and essential roads. The Square of King Alexander the Unifier went through multiple urban transformations characteristic for cities which, like Niš, continually evolved since the Roman Empire, until today. The square is dedicated to the memory of King Alexander I, who is remembered by declaring in 1918 the unification of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes into a single state. The subject of this paper is the perception of the Square of King Alexander, not only the value of its architectural elements of the reshaped urban environment, but also the relationship of their inextricable links which were created with the rest of architectural structures in the vicinity. Furthermore, we will discuss the conditions of creation of the square and the monument of King Alexander as it is one of the most famous town landmarks, which was not discussed enough in the professional literature until now.
