RITAM GRADA / RHYTHM OF THE CITY
A FULL CENTURY OF THE TEMPLE OF SAINT SAVA Symbol of Belgrade’s faith, strength and eternity
The monumental Temple of Saint Sava rises skywards in Belgrade’s Vračar neighbourhood, representing an edifice that extends beyond the borders of Serbia in terms of its size, beauty and spiritual significance T he site where it is tradition- ally believed that the mor- tal remains of Saint Sava were burned to ash in 1594 is to- day occupied by one of the world’s largest Orthodox churches: the Temple of Saint Sava. Its dome domi- nates the panorama of Belgrade, while its white marble façade and extravagant golden mosaics bear witness to the fusion of tradition and contemporary art.
