St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Catholic parish church in Zemun, Serbia
St. Mary of the Assumption Church is a Catholic parish church in Zemun featuring baroque architectural details. The interior contains an ornate main altar, statues of Saints Peter and Paul, and a black statue of the Virgin Mary.
The church was built in 1795 on the site of a former mosque and underwent major restoration in 1817. This work established the structural and decorative elements that remain visible today.
