caption_attribution_description: Српски / srpski: Саборна црква Христа спаситеља, Бања Лука ID добра: NKD115 Саборни храм Христа Спаситеља у Бањој Луци данас се налази на мјесту гдје је накада била Црква Свете Тројице, направљена између два свјетска рата у центру Бање Луке. Изградња храма трајала је од 1925. до 1929, а свечано је освештана на Спасовдан 1939. године. Ova fotografija je lično za mene posebna iz razloga što sam na krovu Banskog dvora proveo skoro 4 sata, kako bi mogao hram da fotografišem u različito doba dana, po danu, sumrak i noćnu fotografiju.
