About Crkva Svetog Georgija u Bežaniji

Crkva Svetog Georgija u Bežaniji is a Serbian Orthodox parish church in the Bežanija neighbourhood of New Belgrade. Dedicated to Saint George, it is recognised by the Government of Serbia as a Monument of Culture. The present building was begun in 1826, completed and consecrated in 1827, and stands at Vojvođanska 70. It replaced an earlier Bežanija church recorded in 1733.

The church is a single-nave building with a semicircular eastern apse, a western narthex with a choir gallery, and a tall three-storey bell tower. Its design combines Neoclassical and Classicist elements with Baroque and Romantic features, reflecting the eclectic sacred architecture of the 19th century. The interior is divided into four compartments by arches and pilasters. A 1938 restoration added the iconostasis and wall paintings in the al secco technique by Andrej Bicenko.

The church remains an active parish and worship site. The official parish website publishes the current service schedule; visitors should check it before planning a visit and observe Orthodox church etiquette during services.
