Chapel of Peace, Sremski Karlovci
The Chapel of Peace (Serbo-Croatian: Капела мира, Kapela mira) is a Roman Catholic chapel in Sremski Karlovci in Vojvodina, Serbia, built in 1817 at the site of the signing of the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz which concluded the Great Turkish War. The building was constructed as a token of gratitude to the Virgin Mary for aiding the Christian forces in securing a favourable outcome in the war. Designed to resemble an Ottoman military tent, the chapel has a circular base and three entrances, symbolizing the passageways used by the representatives of Venice, Austria, and Poland. The fourth entrance, meant for the Ottoman delegation, was sealed upon completion, reflecting the hope that they would never return to Pannonian Basin.
