Saint Nicholas’ Church

This Serbian Orthodox church was completed in 1909. It replaced the previous church on this site which burnt down on Christmas Eve of 1896. There is a small stall on the left as you enter selling religious icons that are very well made and at a decent price.

This Serbian Orthodox church was completed in 1909 replacing the previous church on this site which burnt down on Christmas Eve of 1896. Fairly simple inside but with a beautiful altar piece. There is a small stall on the left as you enter selling religious icons.

It is definitely worth visiting this over 100-year-old church, if only for its many icons (iconostasis).

St. Nicholas is a nice charming church of a solid looking structure on the outside and beautifully decorated on the inside, too. On the entrance, it felt like a souvenir shop than a church is my only complaint. There are some cute cats strolling around this church as well. Beautiful square and the incredible mountains all around.

A suvenier shop and a church in the same room felt a luttle weird for me.. But the building is pretty from the inside and from the outside, and there are beautiful paintings on the walls.
