Religious architecture in Novi Sad is very diverse. Majority of the believers in Novi Sad are from Serbian Orthodox Church, while others are from Roman Catholic Church, many Protestant churches, and Jewish community. Stari Grad is the place with the majority of churches and temples, and they were all built in the 18th and 19th century.
The oldest religious building in the city was Orthodox church dedicated to Saint John. This church was built in 1700, but was burned in the 1848–49 revolution. It was rebuilt in 1853, but was razed in 1921.
The main Orthodox church in the city is The Orthodox Cathedral of Saint George (Saborna Crkva svetog Đorđa), built in 1742, it is next to the Bishop's Palace, the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Bačka.

These new churches are all built in Neo-Byzantine architecture, which is more Balkanic architecture and very different from the older Orthodox churches in the city, which are of a more Central Europe-type architecture.
