St. Mark's Church was built from 1931 to 1940 on the site of an older church (1835). It was designed in the Serbo-Byzantine style by architects, Petar and Branko Krstić. At the south end of the church there is a sarcophagus with the remains of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan (he'll be coming up on this blog in a couple of days).St. Mark's Church is home to one of the most valuable collections of Serbian 18th and 19th century icons.I took this photo outside at night because I liked the light on the arches. When I changed it into black and white, I realized the light and dark form an optical illusion. Stare at it a bit....

This is such a wonderful photo... perfect for blowing up and displaying as wall art as well. You are really quite talented.
Thanks again for sharing snipits of Belgrade with the rest of us.
Bravo! Very well done.
This is a superb image, with the overhead lighting streaming through.
Wow! Well done! I love this shot...reminds me of M.C. Escher, an artist whose drawings are fun to colour. What a beautiful shot...I do love it.
Great photos of St. Mark's column capitals. I am doing my thesis on Tas park. Do you have any photos of the entrance of the cave there? I am finding it nearly impossible to locate online :)

Hello, Kevin!
I am currently in the US for a couple of months, due to a family matter.
I don;t have any photos of the caves' entrance....I haven't (gasp) even been there, but will make it a point to do so upon my return.
