Markovic family home is filed as a monument and located on the corner of 14 Gospodska street and 11 Magistratsi square. The building was built by the Greek merchant Dima in the 18th century, with the reconstruction that followed in 1801. The house was bought from him by a famous trader Milos Urosevic and in 1870 the mayor of Zemun, Stevan Markovic purchased it from his successors. The house suffered extensive damage during the Second World War, mostly from the bombing, which undermined its original, sealed composition. Today it is family owned by the Markovices. Floor and courtyard of the building are used for housing and office space is located on the ground floor of the building, today housing the insurance company, cafe, and three smaller shops. The facade and roof were reconstructed in 2010 so that has stopped further deterioration.
