St. Mark's Church

In Tamajdan Park, in the heart of Belgrade, is where St. Mark's Church may be found. It was erected where the former St. Mark's Church, which was built in the 1830s, once stood. The massive five-domed church that stands today was constructed between 1931 and 1939 in the Serbo-Byzantine architectural style and was inspired by the Graanica monastery (built by Serbian king Milutin in 1321). It was planned to use fresco technique to paint the church's interior. Nevertheless, the construction was put on hold when World War II broke out. After the war, a communist regime took over, but they had little interest in accomplishing this task.

The St. Mark's Church is enormous and 60 meters tall. Amazingly good. The reason this church is named after Saint. Mark is undoubtedly one of the mysteries that surround it. He is a renowned saint and an apostle, although in Serbian Orthodox tradition, his name is not frequently referenced.

The marble tomb of Tzar Dusan, Serbia's largest emperor (1308–1355), is located within St. Mark's church. The tombs of various Serbian orthodox bishops as well as those of King Alexander Obrenovic and his wife Queen Draga, the last monarchs of the dynasty Obrenovic, who were assassinated in the May Coup of 1903, are located in the church's still-unfinished but usable crypt. Following your tour of the church, you can stroll around lovely Tamajdan Park, enjoy a cup of coffee, or even stop for lunch there.
