The Church of Saint Mark in Belgrade was designed by the brothers Petar and Branko Krstić, professors of architecture at the University of Belgrade. The infobox spells the first name Kratić, while the text uses Krstić. The article does not explicitly name a client, but the founding charter names King Alexander I and Patriarch Varnava. The infobox gives completion in 1940. The text says construction ran from 1931 to 1940, but also that it began in 1932, with the exterior finished in 1939.
The article calls the style Serbo-Byzantine, with a two-colored exterior of natural materials and an interior of marble, mosaics and Venetian glass. It is 203 feet (62 m) long, 148 feet (45 m) wide and 197 feet (60 m) high, with a nave for 2,000 people.
It was damaged in the 1941 bombing and consecrated in 1948. The interior is still unfinished, with mosaics added in 1996 to 1998, 2017 and 2022. The article gives no hours.
