Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Belgrade
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Belgrade, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Dorćol district, Belgrade, Serbia
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox church in Dorćol featuring Byzantine Revival design with distinctive red brick construction. The interior holds religious decorations and provides space for worship and meditation.
Construction started in 1912 under architect Jelisaveta Načić and finished in 1929 after World War I caused lengthy delays. The project reflected a period when Belgrade was rebuilding its religious and cultural structures.
The cathedral displays Byzantine religious imagery and Orthodox symbols that reflect deep spiritual traditions. Visitors can observe the icons, candles, and liturgical objects that form part of daily worship.
The cathedral welcomes visitors during daylight hours, though visiting outside service times allows better observation of the building. Respectful dress and behavior are expected from those entering this active place of worship.
The site once held a Capucine monastery founded by Austrian monks between 1717 and 1739. The cathedral was later built on the same grounds, connecting two different religious traditions at one location.
