Temple of Saint Sava
Beograd · Churches and state buildings
One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world — its white dome, about 70 metres high, is visible from most of the city. It stands where, according to tradition, the Ottomans burned the relics of St. Sava in 1594; construction stretched over more than a century. The highlight is the interior: a vast golden mosaic dome completed in 2020 with the help of Russian artists, and a crypt with marble columns and mosaics.
