Temple of Saint Sava (Belgrade) The (Orthodox) Temple of Saint
Sava (Serbian: Храм Светог Саве) in Belgrade, Serbia is the
largest Orthodox Church Temple currently in use. The church is
dedicated to Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian church and an
important figure in medieval Serbia. It is built on the Vračar
plateau, on the location where his remains are thought to have
been burned in 1595 by Turkish Sinan Pasha. From its location,
it dominates Belgrade's cityscape, and is perhaps the most
monumental building in the city. The building of the church
structure is being financed exclusively by donations. The parish
home is nearby, as will be the planned patriarchal building. It
finishes Belgrade's line Kalemegdan - Trg republike - Terazij] -
Beograđanka - Slavija - Temple of Saint Sava. The peak is 134
metres (439.6 ft) high (64 metres 210 ft above the Sava river);
therefore the church holds a dominant position in Belgrade's
cityscape and is visible from all approaches to the city. The
church is 91 m (298.5 ft)
