When I think of churches in Belgrade, St. Sava is the one that comes to my mind right away. It was early morning when we went and although it was not a Sunday, it was full of visitors. In fact, there were more tourists than locals praying. Mindful of the norms inside all churches, I quickly put my camera away here when I saw a sign asking people to refrain from taking pictures or from filming. But no one seemed to heed the request. When I saw a priest in the middle of the church chatting with friends and he didn't tell anyone off, I changed my mind and took pictures like the rest.

St. Sava was indeed a jewel of a church. The interior oozed with gold mosaic tiles. Named after St. Sava, the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the church was built on the presumed location of the saint's grave. Although the first stone was laid in 1935, it wasn't until 1989 when the church was mostly finished and the dome was raised to its present position.

Like in many churches in the Balkans, there was no admission to enter.
