Read the storyClose

In 1690, thousands of Serbs fled the Ottoman wars and settled in Szentendre. They built seven churches with onion-domed towers and painted icon walls, and became rich merchants. Most later left, but their churches still give the town its shape, and one is now a Serbian church art museum.
