Lonely Planet review

Step out and wander around Čaršija's small shops and teahouses, and go north along Samoilova for the magnificent Church of Sveti Spas. The church was built below ground, since during Ottoman times it was illegal for a church to be taller than a mosque. It boasts an iconostasis 10m (33ft) wide and 6m (20ft) high, beautifully carved in the early 19th century.
