In line with Metabolist principles of interconnected larger structures, the Central Bank was meant to spatially communicate with Hotel Grand through the green landscape and a common plateau. Designed by Halid Muhasilović in 1976, its distinguished modernist features along with other buildings surrounding it make up the contours of the main streets of the new modern city. The exterior of the Central Bank remains quite untouched apart from some small interventions in its main entrance. The building was formerly known as the SDK – Služba Društvenog Knjigovođstva [State Bookkeeping Service].
