Sarajevo Old Orthodox Church

The Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel features traditional Eastern Orthodox architecture with a central nave surrounded by a colonnade without an apse.

Built in 1539 on earlier foundations, the structure underwent multiple restorations due to fires, with the current building dating back to a 1730 reconstruction.

The church houses a museum established in 1889, containing an extensive collection of Orthodox icons, manuscripts, and the notable Sarajevo Edict of 1307.

Located at Mula Mustafe Bašeskije 59, the church welcomes visitors daily without prior reservations and maintains regular operating hours for public access.

The carved iconostasis from 1674 displays works by notable artists including Maksim Tujković, Longin, and various Greek, Russian, and Cretan masters.
