Crkva Vaznesenja Gospodnjeg, Serbian Orthodox church in Čačak, Serbia.

The Church of the Ascension stands on the highest point of Čačak, featuring two bell towers and traditional Serbian-Byzantine architectural elements.

Built between 1179 and 1190 by Župan Stracimir, brother of Stefan Nemanja, the church underwent multiple transformations between Christian and Islamic places of worship.

The interior contains 48 individual icons on the iconostasis created by Živko Pavlović, representing important religious figures and biblical scenes.

The church serves as the main religious center in Čačak, offering regular services and maintaining religious customs for the local Orthodox community.

The church holds equal status with three major royal monasteries: Studenica, St. George in Ras, and Hilandar, as mentioned in King Stefan's documents.
