The '''(Orthodox) Temple of Saint Sava''' (Serbian: Храм Светог Саве) in Belgrade, Serbia is the largest Orthodox Church currently in use. The [[church]] is dedicated to [[Sava of Serbia|St. Sava]], founder of the [[Church of Serbia|Serbian church]] and an important figure in medieval Serbia. The [[temple ]] has been built on the Vračar plateau, on the location where, in 1595, St. Sava’s remains are thought to have been burned by Turkish Sinan Pasha. From its location, the temple dominates Belgrade's skyline and is perhaps the most monumental building in the city. The building of the church structure has been financed exclusively by donations. The [[parish]] home is nearby, as will be the planned [[patriarch]]al building.
