Sveta Petka, Orthodox church in Belgrade Fortress, Serbia
The church building stands above an ancient spring within Belgrade Fortress, featuring mosaic-covered walls that extend from floor to ceiling throughout the interior.
Built in 1937 by architect Momir Korunovic, the church replaced an earlier structure and incorporated elements of traditional Serbian medieval religious architecture.
The chapel contains the spring water that draws Orthodox believers who gather the water in bottles, continuing a tradition spanning many generations.
Visitors can access the church through the main entrance of Belgrade Fortress, following signs that lead to the religious structure near Runica Church.
During the 1944 Allied bombing, the adjacent boarding house was destroyed, leading to the construction of the current neighboring building.
