Church of Saint Sava

The Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade, Serbia, is the largest Orthodox Church currently in use. The church is dedicated to St. Sava, the founder of the Serbian church and an important figure in medieval Serbia. The temple was built on the Vračar plateau, on the location where, in 1595, St. Sava’s remains are thought to have been burned by Turkish Sinan Pasha. From its location, the temple dominates Belgrade's skyline and is perhaps the most monumental building in the city. The building of the church structure has been financed exclusively by donations.

After our visit to St Sava's Temple, we will take a ride to Dedinje , an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Savski Venac. Dedinje is generally considered the wealthiest part of Belgrade and is the site of numerous villas and mansions owned by the members of the city's plutocracy, as well as many diplomatic residences. Also, we will pass by the Museum of Yugoslavia, which complex comprises three buildings also known as a resting place of the former communist revolutionary and politician Josip Broz Tito, as well as his wife.
