Stara crkva, Serbian Orthodox church in Kragujevac, Serbia

The Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit features traditional Serbian architectural elements with a rectangular base and central dome construction.

Prince Miloš Obrenović commissioned the construction of this church in 1818 when Kragujevac became the capital of the newly liberated Serbia.

The church contains religious artwork, including an ornate iconostasis displaying representations of biblical scenes and Orthodox Christian saints.

Visitors can access the church through guided tours arranged by local tourism offices, with extended hours during religious celebrations.

The church yard served as the location for the first Serbian parliament sessions and the proclamation of Serbia's first constitution in 1835.
