Large Serbian Orthodox church built 1931-40 in Serbo-Byzantine style. Within are the tombs of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (1308-55), and of King Aleksandar I Obrenović (1876-1903) and his Queen Draga Mašin.
The Church of Saint Mark is an Eastern Orthodox church located in Belgrade, Serbia. The church, dedicated to Mark the Evangelist is situated in the Tašmajdan park, near the House of the National Assembly, in the downtown Belgrade. Considered one of the most beautiful edifices of the Serbo-Byzantine style, its exterior resembles that of the Gračanica Monastery, after which it was modelled. Church of Saint Mark is the second largest church in Serbia, after the Church of Saint Sava. There is a small Russian Orthodox church, the Church of the Holy Trinity, next to the church.

Историјски Музеј Србије
Huge collection of materials about the Serbian nation from ancient times to the present. In the coming years it's intended to move to new premises on the site of the former railway station.
Стари Двор
This was the residence of the Obrenović and Karađorđević princely dynasties from 1884 until 1922. It now houses Belgrade City Assembly, no visits except on business.
Nikola Tesla (Никола Тесла, 1856-1943) made huge contributions to electric engineering, pioneering alternating current (enabling long-distance high-energy transfer), radio (underpinning today's mobile comms) and AC motors as used in household and office machinery. Half of this small museum is dedicated to Tesla's personal effects, while the other half contains models of his inventions. English-speaking tours start at the full hour and include demonstrations. Long lines build up at peak hours.
Family-friendly place with all the fairground usuals: distorting mirrors, Ames Room, and so on.
The south side of the National Museum is the city's main plaza. The equestrian statue is of Prince Mihailo Obrenović (1823-1868), who negotiated the withdrawal of Ottoman troops from Belgrade. The city Cultural Centre also fronts onto the square. In spite of the imposing buildings, it's a drab concrete expanse thronged with traffic along Francuska.
