Church of the Holy Transfiguration

Serbian Orthodox church in Sarajevo's Novo Sarajevo district.

The Church of the Holy Transfiguration is a Serbian Orthodox landmark in Novo Sarajevo, away from the compact Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian core most visitors focus on. Its presence helps show Sarajevo as a city of several religious and cultural geographies, not just one postcard centre.

The church is worth seeing for its architecture and for the broader context it adds to the city. Visit respectfully, and combine it with a wider look at the neighbourhoods west of the old town if you want a fuller sense of Sarajevo's twentieth-century growth.
