Interior Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ | Podgorica, Montenegro
When I entered this Cathedral, I expected golden paintings so commonly seen in old Orthodox churches.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ | Podgorica, Montenegro
Looking at this cathedral from the outside, I would guess that it is at least a century old. The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica, the original name rendered: Saborni Hram Hristovog Vaskrsenja i Crkva Svetog Spasa, was accomplished only in 2013. The exterior design follows the style of the traditional Byzantine monuments such as The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon in Kotor, which would suggest that it was likely built at the same time, in the 12th Century.

Once finished, they were the first inclined skyscrapers in the world.
