Church of St. Sava
The Church of Saint Sava is a stunning sight, whether you are an Orthodox Christian or not. This Belgrade landmark is without a doubt one of the most stunning structures in the Balkans, a difficult distinction to earn. You'll notice that it's not just massive in size, but also spectacular in terms of whole experience.
So strap in and prepare to discover a little bit about its rich and complex history, as well as its presence in the former Yugoslavia. You'll discover why Vogue Magazine dubbed it "Eastern Europe's Sagrada Fámlia!"
The main dome of the church stands 134 meters tall and is capped by a 12 meter golden cross. There are an additional 18 crosses on the smaller domes.
In addition, when the inside of the greatest dome is covered with the mosaic of Christ Pantocrator, each of his eyes will be 3m wide!
There are a total of 49 church bells. The heaviest bell weighs in at a whopping 6 tons! Visit the church around noon to hear the day's longest bell ring.
The church can accommodate 10,000 people at any moment, which is commonly the case during Christmas and Easter services.
