St Sava Orthodox Temple

St Sava Orthodox Temple

This cathedral has been built on the place where the Ottomans have crushed the Serbian rebelion in 1595 by burning the body of the First Serbian Archbishop and Prince, Sava Nemanjic (died in 1237). This act has marked the beginning of the Serbian dark age and isolation from Europe which lasted until the Austrian ocupation about 100 years later. St Sava however is still the most honoured saint in Serbia and Montenegro, throughout Macedonia and Bulgaria as well.
