At the end of the 19th century, the church was enlarged, and its present appearance was gained in the early 1930s. The gate was extensively renovated in 1952, after the Allied bombing of Yugoslavia in World War II during which the Baroque church Dušica (Saints-innocents) suffered extensive damage. It was during this time, controversially that attempts were made to clean up and restore the building by removing later additions of the fabric of the structure of the eastern wall of the Palace. Gates such as "the small gate" were closed off, which undermined the former aesthetic quality of the surroundings.
