Church of Saint Sava

Krušedolska 2a, Beograd 11000

Monumental Orthodox temple with a four-thousand-tonne dome and a vast mosaic-covered interior.

This guide to the Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade asks the question every giant church eventually faces: who paid for it? It moves from a fundraising society founded in 1895 and the saint whose relics are thought to have burned on this plateau, to the weeks in 1989 when hydraulic jacks hoisted the dome. Along the way come the Serbian state, a Russian artist and seventy mosaic masters. Listen from the square outside, then step in beneath the dome.
