Latin Church in Gornji Matejevac

The Latin Church features a single-nave structure with an elongated cross design, combining brick and stone construction with a central dome.

Built in the 11th century during Byzantine rule, the church received its name from Dubrovnik merchants who used it for ceremonies in the 16th century.

The church incorporates elements from different architectural periods, including an ancient Roman tombstone embedded within its exterior wall.

Located north of Niš city center, the church stands on an elevated position accessible through paved roads connecting to the M1.12 highway.

The church remained the only religious building in its vicinity to maintain its original function while others were converted during Ottoman rule.
