| The most recently built Orthodox in Belgrade is at the same time the first church built on the territory of Novi Beograd since World War II. The construction started in 1996 and the church was consecrated in 2001. Relying on Christian tradition and on the outstanding accomplishments of the old Serbian builders, the architect Mihailo Mitrović has chosen shape of ancient Christian rotunda, accompanied with lower annexes and high bell-tower on the west side, as well as three-leafed altar apse on the east. This temple represents, by its composition, a solid and artistically homogenous whole, achieved by a modern construction procedure. It was built using donations of admirors of the deeds of St. Vasilije of Ostrog, the Miracle Worker. |
