Crkva Pokrova Presvete Bogorodice u Beogradu, Serbian Orthodox church in Zvezdara, Serbia.
The Crkva Pokrova Presvete Bogorodice is a Serbian Orthodox church in Zvezdara featuring traditional Orthodox architecture with a central dome and bell tower on Kajmakcalanska Street. The structure follows a classical layout with a nave, transept areas, and sanctuary, decorated throughout with religious imagery and ornamental elements.
The church was constructed in 1933 when Patriarch Dimitrije approved funding to serve the expanding Orthodox population in this area of Belgrade. Its construction reflected the city's growth between the World Wars and was part of a broader ecclesiastical expansion into newly developed neighborhoods.
The interior walls feature extensive frescoes in gold and green tones depicting Old Testament prophets in the classical Orthodox style.
The church is located near the Pop Stojanova transit stop, making it easily accessible by public transportation. The area is walkable and situated in an established neighborhood with good infrastructure nearby.
Inside the church is a reproduction of the Virgin Mary icon from the Pec Patriarchate, linked by local tradition to an original artwork by Saint Luke. This icon holds special meaning for many believers and attracts visitors seeking a connection to early Christian artistic traditions.
