Church of St. John

ORTHODOX CHURCH of ST.JOHN was, as the story goes, built on the remains of a Turkish mosque in 1790, in a Baroque variant with elements of Rococo. The interior is decorated by an icon og the Holy Mother, a gift by the monks of the Jazak monastery. The icon was brought from Kosovo in the Great Migration of the Serbs. The church also houses an exeptionally valuable iconostasis painted in 1809 by Pavle Djurkovic. All this has contributed to the fact that the "Small Church", as it is called by the citizens of Sombor, has been declared a cultural asset of exeptional importance.
