👍👍 I have visited many orthodox Christian churches but this one is truly stunning. It's different than Russian and Greek ones and you can honestly tell the difference. There were a lot of tourista taking photos inside so it was difficult to enjoy the silence even for a little while. Overall a beautiful... People often mention church, museum,

    This is the oldest Orthodox Church in Sarajevo. It was rebuilt several times though through out the years due to damage and fires. The last construction was in the 1700's. They have an on-site museum of some of the older relics that were at the church. There is an enterance fee but is is very minimal. There is also a story, that I'm not 100% up-to-date on that revoles around a small boys remains that were found during the remold of the church. These remains are in a coffin on the second story of the Church. I would look into this story as it is interesting.

    Well i dont know a lot about the history but it felt special and was certainly different then most churches i went to. There is a winery next door as well. Prices are resaonable, and would recommend to have a look and taste the atmos. Also visit the upper part it gives nice views.

    This is a real gem in all the hustle and bustle. I spent 3 days in Sarajevo and did go there every day for some time out. It is a quiet yet special place.

    one of the highlights in my short stay in Sarajevo. An oasis in the old town and a wealth of artifacts in a small but rich museum.

    Atmospheric, but not ancient. The foundations of the church go back to the 4th century, but what you see now is primarily 18th 19th century. If you are into Serbian ecclesial art, the museum is the most interesting part of the whole visit

    Old serbian Orthodox church.build around the 5th century, demolished many times through history, rebuild in 17th century. No body speaks about it as a highlight of the city. But it speaks so much with other churches of Sarajevo, as a city and culture before the ottomans... There are so many old churches, much older the the mosques and turksish baths. I say this cause there is no chance of getting this city other then the muslim, but it always been christian and multicultural... Before the war there were 150. 000 serbs, now 50.000 for example.

👍👍 An absolute piece of paradise in the middle of Sarajevo. It is such a hidden gem definitely worth visiting and exploring. Your kids will love it here, but be cautious, it might be hard to make them leave. There is no entrance fee. You can come with a car but have to pay for a parking place. Parkin...
