Church of St. Archangel Gabriel

The Church of St. Archangel Gabriel is a Serbian Orthodox church in central Belgrade built in the Serbo-Byzantine style. It stands at the crossing of Kralja Petra and Kneza Sime Markovića streets with a distinctive modern approach to traditional forms.

The church received architectural approval in 1837 and was built over the following years before its consecration. Metropolitan Petar Jovanović formally dedicated it in November 1845.

The church displays a richly decorated interior with a gold-plated carved iconostasis by Dimitrije Petrović. The wall paintings and icons created by Dimitrije Avramović remain central to how the space feels when you enter.

The church can be visited on weekdays when religious services are less frequent, making it easier to explore the interior. This timing allows you to see the architectural details and artistic elements without crowds.

The church houses relics of Saint Uroš III and Despot Stefan Štiljanović along with burial places of notable Serbian historical figures. These sacred remains draw both pilgrims and those interested in Serbian history.
