Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, Eastern Orthodox Cathedral in New Town district, Podgorica, Montenegro.
The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ is a church building featuring two towers, a central dome, and exterior walls of white natural stone, rising about 41.5 meters high. It shapes the skyline of the New Town district and contains an underground crypt used for religious ceremonies.
Construction started in 1993 and was completed in 2013 as a symbol of religious freedom and the revival of the Orthodox Church following political upheaval. The project marked an important moment in the region's religious life after decades of limitations.
The interior features religious artworks created in the Orthodox tradition, and visitors can feel the spiritual character of the space through these sacred paintings. The iconography and wall decorations give the space a meditative quality typical of Eastern Orthodox houses of worship.
The building is located near the Morača River in the city center and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can attend religious services or view the interior during daytime hours, but should wear respectful clothing and follow the customs of a sacred space.
The crypt beneath the building holds the resting place of a significant religious leader from modern times. This underground chamber makes the site a pilgrimage destination for many believers from the region.
