At the very centre of Bečej, there's this monumental Serbian Orthodox Church, built in 1858, according to the plans of Andrija Šmaus and Jovan Somborski. It's dedicated to St George.
As you can see, there are 3 towers symbolising the Holy Trinity.
Inside the church, you can admire the paintings of Uroš Predić, our famous 19th-century artist. The most distinguished work here is probably Predić's iconostasis with 63 icons, each representing the best of the 19th-century religious art. Taking pictures inside the church is prohibited!
Predrag Jovanović from Novi Sad cast the church bells.
