Saint Sava Temple

Saint Sava Temple in Belgrade is the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, a massive neo-Byzantine domed cathedral dedicated to Serbia's patron saint, the medieval founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Construction began in 1935 but was repeatedly interrupted by wars; the breathtaking gold-and-glass mosaic interior is still being completed. The church sits on the Vračar plateau where Saint Sava's relics were burned by Ottoman forces in 1595.
