The Church of St John the Forerunner

The Church of St John the Forerunner (Crkva svetog Jovana Preteče) was built on the site of an older Orthodox Church, turned into a mosque when the Turks came. The old church was torn down in 1786, and the new one was built 4 years later.

The richly decorated iconostasis was painted by Pavle Đurković in 1809.
