Church of the Ascension, Belgrade
Church of the Ascension, Belgrade, Serbian Orthodox church building in downtown Belgrade, Serbia
The Church of the Ascension is a Serbian Orthodox church building in downtown Belgrade, distinguished by black Hungarian marble steps at its entrance. The structure occupies an entire city block bounded by four surrounding streets in a busy central area.
The church survived major destruction during World War II when German air raids heavily damaged Belgrade in 1941. Earlier, during World War I, occupying forces removed most of its bells, leaving only a few intact.
The church serves as an active place of worship for the local community, drawing both civilians and military personnel to its services throughout the year. Its role in commemorating major religious holidays connects it deeply to the spiritual life of the city.
The church is easily accessible on foot in the city center near major government buildings, making it simple to find and reach. Visitors should plan to attend during regular service times and dress appropriately out of respect for the religious setting.
A memorial cross in the churchyard from the 1970s honors those who died during the devastating German air raid in 1941. This quiet remembrance site is often overlooked but forms an important part of the church's wartime story.
