Holy Trinity Cathedral, Niš

The Holy Trinity Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox church located in Niš, Serbia. It is under jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Niš of the Serbian Orthodox Church and serves as its cathedral church. After the Church of Saint Sava and the Church of Saint Mark, both in Belgrade, the Holy Trinity Cathedral is the largest in Serbia. Both in terms of its architecture and the icons made for the iconostasis, it occupies an important place in the Serbian history of art. Different stylistic motives are present on the church: Serbian-Byzantine, Romanesque-Byzantine and Islamic architecture, but also Renaissance and Western Baroque. Such a conception of landmarks is a turning point in the history of Serbian architecture, which is reflected in the abandonment of the classical conception and the creation of national landmarks. The Holy Trinity Cathedral Church was severely damaged in the Allied bombing in 1944 and in the fire in 2001.
