Preko Morače & the cathedral
The west bank, “across the Morača”: the Millennium Bridge, the golden Cathedral of the Resurrection, the Petrović Palace in its park and the café square of Rimski trg.
About Preko Morače & the cathedral
Cross the Morača on the Millennium Bridge or the Blaža Jovanovića bridge and you are in Preko Morače, the west bank that grew after the Second World War. Its landmarks are the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, consecrated in 2013, and the Petrović Palace, now a contemporary art gallery in the park of Kruševac.
Rimski trg, a pedestrian square of cafés, is a pleasant place to pause.
