Saint Sava is the national saint of Serbia and founded the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Middle Ages.
One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world is a must-see when visiting Belgrade. The mosaics of the Sava Cathedral, including a copy of the depiction of the Mother of God from Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (now Istanbul), cover a total of 15,000 square meters - the largest mosaic depiction in the world.
The first construction work was carried out between 1935 and 1941, before the World War and Yugoslav socialism caused a long break. The Balkan War also caused a halt to construction, meaning that construction of the cathedral was only completed in 2017.

The Cathedral of Saint Sava (Serbian Храм светог Саве Hram svetog Save; actually Sanctuary of Saint Sava or Temple of Saint Sava)[1] is a neo-Byzantine style monumental Serbian Orthodox church in Belgrade. With a covered area of 4830 m² it is one of the largest orthodox churches in the world.[2] With an inner dome diameter of 30.5 m, the cathedral connects to the dome in the direct structural model of Hagia Sophia. The cathedral is designed as a classic central room with four conches and dedicated to the first Serbian archbishop and national saint of Serbia, St. Sava (1175-1236). It was built on the plateau of Vračar, a 134-meter-high hill in the south of Belgrade city center, which can be seen from afar, on the spot where Sinan Pasha allegedly had the mortal remains of Saint Sava burned in 1595. The church belongs to the Archdiocese of Belgrade and Karlovci of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
