Belgrade has a lot to offer to travelers from all walks of life, including architecture lovers. From historic forts to modern buildings, the architectural richness of the Serbian capital is pretty diverse, but some of its most beautiful buildings happen to be churches—especially these three.
Saint Sava Temple
Named after the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Saint Sava Temple is one of the symbols of Belgrade despite the fact it’s only been around since 2004. Inspired by Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, this is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox churches in the entire world.
St. Mark’s Church
Completed in 1940, this Serb-Byzantine church is impossible to miss thanks to its close proximity to the Parliament of Serbia. Its imposing bell tower and red brick walls transformed it into one of the city’s most recognizable attractions of its kind.
Ruzica Church
Belgrade Fortress is home to many stunning attractions, and this church is one of its best-hidden secrets. It’s one of Belgrade’s most Instagram-friendly spots thanks to its ivy-covered façade, but you’ll also be wowed if you step inside thanks to its chandeliers made of weapons.
