This is dome of the St Petka chapel, in Kalemegdan fortress, Belgrade. Beautiful little church, with beautiful historical surroundings. For more information about this church, I quote note from my previous post.

The church, or chapel of St Petka is built over the miracle source, at the same place where existed previous one before 1867. During the construction of the church foundations numerous skeletons of the Serbian soldiers from WWI were found. They died in fights for relieving Belgrade during 1914 and 1915. These skeletons are buried in the crypt nearby. The church was finished in 1937, according to project of Momir Korunović. The inner walls are covered with mosaics made by Đuro Radulović. It's place where people come to find their peace, and in some sort of pilgrimage drink the holly water from the source in hope for heal. The chapel is located at Kalemegdan fortress, just few meters downstairs from the Rose church.
