Milan Blagojević Španac (1905–1941) was a participant in the Spanish Civil War and the National Liberation Struggle, commander of the First Šumadija Partisan Detachment, and a national hero of Yugoslavia. Upon the formation of the First Šumadija Partisan Detachment on July 1, 1941, he became its first commander. Under his command, the detachment quickly liberated most of Šumadija. He was killed by Četniks on October 29, 1941. He was proclaimed a national hero on May 9, 1945.

The small one-story house where the national hero Milan Blagojević was born consists of two rooms. Below the porch on its front facade is a marble plaque that reads:

THE HOUSE OF NATIONAL HERO
MILAN BLAGOJEVIĆ IN NATALINCI

The House of National Hero Milan Blagojević was declared a cultural monument by the Decision of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Institute Kragujevac, No. 17/1, dated April 18, 1975.
