Religion
The Church of St. George in Smoković was originally built in 1567.[6] After the Croatian Army took control of the village on January 24, 1993, the church was destroyed with only parts of the apse and entrance wall remaining.[6] It was rebuilt in 2014 with donations from the United States and Canada communities.[6] The church is surrounded by a cemetery, and its icons were relocated to the Serbian Orthodox Church Museum in Belgrade for safekeeping during the war.[6]
