Check in Serbia @ Cathedral of Saint Sava (Temple of Saint Sava)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Cathedral of Saint Sava (Temple of Saint Sava) is a Serbian Orthodox church located in Belgrade, Serbia. It covers an area of ​​1,800 square meters and is the largest Orthodox church in the world. As one of the top ten cathedrals in the world, Saint Sava Cathedral is dedicated to the founder Saint Sava. It has gone through many twists and turns in its construction and is one of the most magnificent buildings in Belgrade. It symbolizes the cohesion and indomitable spirit of the Serbian nation. The Church of Saint Sava is located on a hill in the east of Belgrade's old town. Construction began in 1935 and adopts the Byzantine design commonly used in Eastern Orthodox churches. However, the main body of the church is different from the traditional Latin cross (short horizontal and long vertical), but adopts a regular cross shape with four sides of basically equal length, 91 meters from east to west and 81 meters from north to south. This makes the church appear square, neat and magnificent from any angle. As a necessary bell tower for every church, the four bell towers are evenly inlaid at the four right angles of the cross, integrating with the main building of the church. As a landmark building in Belgrade, tourists should remember to check it out.
