One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world is in Belgrade. The Cathedral of St. Sava is a monumental Serbian Orthodox church that should not be missed during a city tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
During our stroll through the city, we were almost magically drawn to the Cathedral of St. Sava. It is located in the southern city centre on a hill (Vra\u010dar Plateau at a height of 134 m) and is thus very visible in the cityscape. It was built on the exact spot where it is said that Sinan Pasha had the remains of Saint Sava burnt there in 1595. In the myths of the people, a sacred and spiritual place was created there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dome emerges from an idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The idea of building the Memorial Church of St. Sava was born on the occasion of the 300th anniversary (1895) of the burning of the bones of the first Serbian archbishop, teacher and saint Sava of Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
