Other notable Belgrade churches include St. Mark's Church, in which rests the body of the first Serbian Emperor, Stefan Dušan. The architecture of this church was greatly inspired by the Gračanica monastery in the province of Kosovo. The church of Sveta Ružica in the Kalemegdan Fortress is one of the holiest places in Belgrade for Serbian Orthodox Christians since this was the site where the body of St. Paraskeva was preserved for several years after the Ottoman conquest, before being taken to Romania where it still rests today.
Belgrade is the seat of a Catholic archdiocese, with a small Catholic community and several Catholic churches. One of these, St Anthony's, was designed by the noted Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik.
The Jewish community is served by the Belgrade Synagogue, which is the only currently active Jewish place of worship in the entire country, although not the only structure within the city limits.
Belgrade also had an active Buddhist temple in the first half of the 20th century. It was built by Kalmyk expatriates fleeing the outcome of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
Zemun Synagogue, built in early 20th century, sold to a restaurant owner during Slobodan Milošević's rule; in 2020, ownership was returned to the Jewish community of Zemun[4]
