Nikola Spasić was born to a poor Serbian family which moved to Belgrade from the countryside during the 1804-1813 First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire.[4] Spasić trained as an artisan and merchant before opening a leather workshop and store in 1865 alongside his brother.[4] The shop manufactured and sold opanci (Opanak), a Balkan peasant footwear similar to the moccasin which was widely accepted as part of the Serbian national costume and was worn in the 19th century both in the city and the village.[4] By the time of the Kingdom of Serbia acquired full independence in 1878, Spasić had accumulated enough wealth to retire. The value of the property that the Endowment of Nikola Spasić had at its disposal following his death was close to that of the Nobel Foundation.[4]
In Belgrade, Spasić is remembered for his professionalism and humanitarian work.[4] For the architectural design of his buildings, Spasić developed a reputation for selecting the most accomplished Serbian architects. His buildings featured the latest technical devices, the construction material of the highest quality, with the entire building inventory procured from European centres.[4]
Nikola Spasić's will and last testament, drawn up in 1912, expressly forbade the sale of any of his Belgrade buildings.[4] Instead, it called for their exploitation in order to raise funds and therefore finance all the undertakings of the Endowment of Nikola Spasić. The main goal of the endowment set by Spasić was the economic development of the nation.[4]
Only a few days before his death on the island of Corfu, where he arrived as a war refugee, Spasić revealed in a letter, his hope that he would return one day to liberated Belgrade, accompanied by Viennese architect Konstantin Jovanović, with whom he planned to engage to design new remarkable edifices.[4]
