Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

This Orthodox rock chapel (Црква Света Богородица Пештанска/Crkva Sveta Bogorodica Peštanska) is adorned with 14th-century frescoes. Heavily denatured by the lake's humidity, the pigments were applied directly to the rock.

Only accessible from Gradište beach, the chapel is frequently visited by bathing-suited worshippers.
