Church Of The Assumption Of The Theotokos, Pančevo

The Church of the Assumption of the Theotokos (Serbian: Црква успења пресвете Богородице) in Pančevo is Serbian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia. It is listed as a Monument of Great Cultural Importance by the Republic of Serbia. The church was built between 1801 and 1810 with contributions from local benefactors, among whom was Karađorđe Petrović, the leader of the First Serbian Uprising. The church was designed in a Baroque style with Classical elements. It features a monumental single-nave structure flanked by two bell towers. The iconostasis was painted by Konstantin Danil in the 19th century.

The western façade features a monumental portal and is dominated by two richly adorned bell towers, topped with a complex tin structure and a cross. According to the construction plan, these two towers symbolized the Serb people divided between two empires, the Austrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
