Saint Elijah the Prophet Serbian Orthodox Church is one of Coober Pedy's most striking underground structures. Carved entirely by hand into the rock by Serbian miners in the 1990s, the church features intricate frescoes, stained glass, and a serene atmosphere. The cool interior provides a stark contrast to the desert heat above. Visitors can attend services or simply admire the craftsmanship, including the hand-carved iconostasis and chandeliers made from opal mining tools.
