STARA PRAVOSLAVNA CRKVA I MUZEJ IKONA
OLD ORTHODOX CHURCH AND MUSEUM OF ICONS
Stara pravoslavna crkva u Sarajevu, Crkva svetih arhangela Mihaila i Gavrila, jedan je od najstarijih i najvrjednijih kulturno-historijskih spomenika Sarajeva. Prvi put se spominje 1539. godine, no pretpostavlja se da je izgrađena na temeljima jedne još starije crkve. Odlikuje je stil srednjovjekovnih srpsko -bizantskih građevina, a njena unutrašnjost nadaleko je poznata po izvanrednim primjercima drvoklesarskog umijeća i ikona. Zvonik je dograđen 1883. godine, a rekonstruisan 1960. godine, kada je dobio današnji izgled. Uz crkvu se nalazi Muzej ikona (slike na drvetu, pla tnu ili kamenu s likovima Isusa Hrista, Bogorodice ili drugim motivima iz Svetog pisma) s vrijednom zbirkom iz 18. i 19. vijeka, brojnim rukopisima i nekim od najljepših starih pravoslavnih slika u jugoistočnoj Evropi.
Stara Pravoslavna Crkva in Sarajevo, the Crkva svetih arhangela Mihaila i Gavrila (Church of Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel), is one of the oldest and most valuable cultural and historical monuments of Sarajevo. It was first mentioned in 1539, but it is assumed to have been constructed on the foundations of another older church. It was built in the style of medieval Serbian and Byzantine buildings, and its interior is very famous because of the exceptional woodcarving and icons. The bell tower was later added in 1883, and it was reconstructed in 1960, when it got its current appearance. Alongside the church, there is Muzej Ikona (Museum of Icons) (paintings on wood, canvas or stone with images of Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother or other motifs from the Holy Scripture) with a valuable collection from the 18th and 19th century, numerous manuscripts and some of the prettiest old Orthodox paintings in Southeastern Europe.
