About
The Church of Saint Sava (Serbian: Храм Светог Саве, romanized: Hram Svetog Save, lit. ''The Temple of Saint Sava'') is a Serbian Orthodox church in Belgrade, capital of Serbia. It is the fourth largest Eastern Orthodox church in the world and one of the largest churches in the world by gross volume. The church is dedicated to Saint Sava, the first Serbian archbishop and the nation's patron saint. It was symbolically built on the site where his relics are believed to have been burned on a pyre by the Ottomans in 1594 following a Serb uprising. Construction of the church began in 1935 and was completed only in 2004, when the exterior was finished, and in 2020, when work on the interior was completed, following decades of interrupted construction, wars, and political turmoil. Inspired by the Hagia Sophia, the Church of Saint Sava is one of Belgrade’s most recognizable landmarks and a tourist attraction.
