Church of the Holy Transfiguration, Serbian Orthodox church in Novo Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Church of the Holy Transfiguration is a Serbian Orthodox church in Novo Sarajevo built in Byzantine Revival style. The building features distinctive domes, rounded arches, and elaborate decorative details across its exterior walls and surfaces.
The building was completed in 1940 under architect Aleksandar Deroko and consecrated by Patriarch Gavrilo V. Following the Yugoslav Wars, the church underwent extensive restoration to repair damage and recover its original condition.
This church serves as a gathering place where the Serbian Orthodox community gathers to worship and celebrate religious holidays throughout the year. It holds deep meaning for believers who come here to practice their faith and mark important spiritual moments in their lives.
The church is located in the Novo Sarajevo neighborhood and is accessible to visitors. Keep in mind this is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior and appropriate dress are expected during your visit.
The interior decoration was completely reworked starting in 2004, with fresh frescoes painted across the walls and ceilings. These detailed religious artworks show the craftsmanship of modern restoration efforts and the community's dedication to recovery.
