St. Sava Cathedral, Serbia
From series “The Most Astonishing Orthodox Churches”
St. Sava Cathedral is situated in the historical part of Belgrade. In 1954 at the place of the modern cathedral was executed the hero of Serbia and the first bishop of Sava. In honour of the saint, it was decided to build a wonderful Orthodox church. Until now it is one of the largest cathedrals of the world. The building has begun to build in 1935. Officially the church was finished in 2004 but work of decoration continues until now.
The cathedral looks very outstanding. It was built in a classical Byzantine style. Some people tend to compare St. Sava Cathedral with the St. Sophia Cathedral (Constantinople). Since the building, the cathedral continues to astonish with its sizes. Its length is 91 meters and width are 81 meters. The church’s diameter is 35 meters, its high is 65 meters. The inner decoration of the cathedral is also unique. This place is a harmony of Classicism and Baroque styles.
