Belgrado brut: Crónica íntima de la Ciudad Blanca is a book by Miguel Roán that traces a sentimental and cultural map of the author's nearly twenty years of encounters with Belgrade. The work explores the city marked by history, its location between East and West, and its condition as a border city between cultures and civilizations. Through its pages, Roán presents the most characteristic places, scenes, and characters of Belgrade, highlighting its brutalist architecture with emblematic constructions such as the Western Gate, the Toblerone building, and the Yugoslavia Hotel. The author describes how the solid and forceful forms of the city harbor life, and how concrete coexists with nature, rivers, parks, floating bars, and kafanas.
