The Cathedral Church in Kruševac dates back to the second half of the 19th century. Although little is known about the construction of the cathedral, we know that the construction of a new church started in 1885 and was completed in 1904. A certain Milan Milovanović probably made icons for St. George's Church after graduating from the Munich Academy, probably in the summer of 1903. In 2019, the façade was painted bright red.
The origin of the monastery of Kamenac is linked to the despot Stefan Lazarević (1402-1427), its construction having taken place between 1416 and 1426. The monastery was destroyed after the arrival of the Ottomans in this region in the middle of the 15th century. It is not known to what extent it was damaged, however, it is known that the monastery church was renovated in 1547. A second renovation of the monastery was carried out in 1700. At the beginning of the 19th century, Kamenac suffered greatly from the wars with the Ottomans, so it was renovated many times during this century, which gave it its present form.
Bali-Bey Mosque is a former Ottoman place of worship located in the Niš Fortress. It was built between 1521-23. Following the model of Ottoman mosques of the period, it is rectangular in plan, with a porch at the entrance and a central dome crowning the building.
The Synagogue in Niš is a Sephardi synagogue built in 1924 by architects Milan Kapetanović, Viktor Azriel and Jaša Albala. This Modernist brick synagogue now serves as an art centre.
