Chapel of St. Archangels Gabriel and Michael, Belgrade

The Orthodox Chapel of St. Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Zemun Park was built in 1786 on the site of a previous wooden church. In wartime, it served as a quarantine facility. The chapel is a Baroque building with a double cross, a semicircular apse and a two-story bell tower, added in 1840. Part of the structure are the special niches - made in a strict accordance with the Serbian religious architectural tradition - for those who were strictly quarantined. Restored in 1986, the chapel unveiled new mural paintings and iconostasis. Some of its original 19th century gold-plated icons are the works of Bratoglić Demetrius and Constantine Lekic.
