Day Trips from Belgrade by Car, 8 of 14: Oplenac


St. George's Church on Oplenac Hill is the mausoleum of the Karađorđević royal family, built in white marble from Venčac Mountain. Inside, 725 mosaic compositions copied from 60 medieval Serbian churches cover the walls and crypt, made from 40 million pieces of colored glass. A 9-meter bronze chandelier hangs under the main dome.
The hilltop grounds also hold King Peter's House and the royal vineyards.
