Church of St. Petka
The construction of the building started in 1935 in place of an
old chapel, above a spring which is considered to have miraculous
powers. It was completed and revived on the day of St.
Petka-Paraskeva, October 27th, 1937. Architect Miomir Korunovic was
in charge of the project. While digging the grounds for the Church
of St. Petka, the bones of Serbian soldiers died while defending
Belgrade in 1914-1915 were found.
After this discovery, the Mausoleum of Belgrade Defenders was
built. It is located in the wall beneath Jaksic’s Tower. The
mausoleum was built in 1937 after the reconstruction of the tower
and erection of St. Petka’s Church. It preserves the bones of
Serbian defenders who died while defending Belgrade during the
period between 1914 and 1915.
Ruzica Church
The church was dedicated to the holiday of the Birth of the
Mother of God. The building was at first used as one of the three
powder magazines constructed during the period of Austrian
reconstruction of the Fortress. In 1867, after the Serbs restored
the Fortress into their power, the powder building, with an added
bell tower, was turned into a church named “Ruzica”
(meaning ‘small rose’). During the First World War it
was greatly damaged, but it was subsequently repaired and renovated
in detail. In 1924, two bronze figures, which are the work of N. P.
Krasnov, were put up at the entrance of the church, one
representing a medieval knight and the other a soldier from the
First World War.
