Religious architecture in Belgrade

Belgrade, the capital and largest city of Serbia, has an abundance of religious architecture.

The architecture of this church was greatly inspired by the Gračanica monastery in the province of Kosovo.

The church of Sveta Ružica in the Kalemegdan Fortress is one of the holiest places in Belgrade for Serbian Orthodox Christians since this was the site where the body of St. Paraskeva was preserved for several years after the Ottoman conquest, before being taken to Romania where it still rests today.

One of these, St Anthony's, was designed by the noted Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik.

The Bajrakli Mosque, built in 1526 by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, is one of the oldest surviving structures in contemporary Belgrade.
