Church of St Sava is still under construction, but it's a must-see when you visit Belgrade. It's among biggest Orthodox churches in the world (biggest by area and 2nd biggest by capacity, estimated 10800 people can fit inside).
This is a part of finished underground interior, all detailed and in beautiful pastel shades of gold.

Especially love the symmetry there:

And this is how it looks from outside, with it's glorious 82m hight:

It also had beautiful park around it, where you can enjoy a bit of greenery and fresh air.

I took this photos few months ago, before they started work on main interior mosaic, which will surely be as impressive. 😊

It's place of built holds a story of resistance of Serbian faith to Ottoman empire's occupation, and since it's construction has started many years ago but had to be paused several times, it's surely a symbol of persistence.

Дивне фреске и одличне фотографије @danijeelaa, само их одвој празним редом тако да не буду слепљене једна за другу.

Hvala! 😊 I hvala na savetu, meni su se kao takve svidele ali sad vidim da mogu zbuniti oko u svojoj slepljenosti, posebno spoj prve dve. 😁
