St.Sava Temple (Hram Svetog Save)
It is said that it is visible from every part of the city. It is the biggest Orthodox church/temple in Balkan. It is located at Svetosavski Plateau in front of the building of the National Library of Serbia. It is made in bronze and erected in 1979.

This is the actual temple. Preperations for the begining of works started in 1894, but it was only in 1926 when the architects agreed on how it's going to look like. The works on the temple were stopped on April 6th 1941, when the when Belgrade was bombed by Germany.

In 1984. a new permition was gained and works on the temple could be continued. That was a great moment for all Serbs...
