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