The Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevsky is located in the Old Town. The temple is beautiful from the outside and cozy inside. It is never empty. There are a lot of young people here. Perhaps because the faculties of the Serbian State University are located nearby. university.
The history of its construction is connected with the events of the Serbian-Turkish war of 1876-1877 and the participation of Russian volunteers in it, who arrived in Serbia with a tent-chapel in the name of St. Alexander Nevsky.

The churchyard is located just below the level of the sidewalk, so to enter the temple, you need to go down three steps of different heights, no more than 15 cm high with railings on both sides. 7 steps up to 15 cm high lead to the temple, along the side ascents, along the walls, railings on each side. Next, the threshold-free space. The stunning painting of the temple. Where, along with biblical scenes, images of saints, I suddenly saw floating in a boat with an ark, accompanied, it seems, by the metropolitan, Tsar Peter the Great. On the walls of the temple there are memorial plaques with the inscription: "To Peter the Great the Liberator", "To Nicholas the Second tsar the martyr". To the right and left of the altar there are three thrones (patriarchal?). Working noon. The temple is sparsely populated, while it draws attention to the fact that mostly young people enter the temple. Candles are placed in a separate, nearby building, they are installed in the sand. Even in a sparsely populated temple at this time of day, you can feel its powerful spiritual fullness.
