Presentation of the Virgin Mary Monastery, Belgrade

The monastery of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary is located in Senjak. It was erected in 1936-37 by Perse Milenkovic, to the design of architect Pero Popovic. The monastery church was built in the style and tradition of Serbian medieval architecture: a monumental five-dome church with a basis in the form of an inscribed cross. The altar icons are the work of a Russian painter and date back to the 1930s. The chapel of Saint Nicholas, as part of the dormitory, was built at the same time as the church. In the monastery's courtyard there are tombs of clerical dignitaries: Metropolitan of Skopje Joseph, Metropolitan of Zagreb Dositeja, Metropolitan Arsenija Buda and Zagreb Archbishop of Damascus.
