The Church of St Mark in Belgrade is the Serbian Orthodox Church located at Tasmajdan. It was built between 1931 and 1940 in the immediate vicinity of the old church from 1835, according to the plans of the architects Petar and Branko Krstić. It was designed in the spirit of the architecture of the Serbian-Byzantine style. According to the general architectural design, architectural forms and polychrome facades, this temple is the most natural to the Gracanica Monastery. The furnishing and decorating of the temple has not yet been completed.
In the southern part of the nave there is a sarcophagus with the bones of Emperor Dusan, who were transferred from his endowment to the monastery of St. Archangel near Prizren. On the north side there is a tomb of white marble in which the remains of Patriarch Germano Đorić were buried. The last king from the Obrenovic dynasty, King Alexander Obrenovic and his wife, Draga Mašin, were buried in the crypt of the church. The church preserves one of the richest collections of Serbian icons of the 18th and 19th centuries.
At the place where today's St. Mark's Church is located in Tashmajdan, in 1830, the sultan's hatishery was read out on the recognition of the autonomy of Serbia within the Turkish Empire. In the same place stood the old church which was erected by Prince Miloš, thus marking this historic place. The old church was destroyed in the bombing of Beograd in 1941, the remains were removed in 1942.
