St. Sava Temple



We had the unique experience of taking an elevator to the top of St. Sava temple in Belgrade.  St. Sava is a Serbian Orthodox church that has been in construction since the 1930s.  It is predicted to be finished completely in about 10-15 yrs.  The church is 70m high and we had the unique opportunity to take an elevator to the top of it.  I have to admit I was terrified.   The elevator was definitely nothing that would pass American safety inspections...seeing as in some parts there were no rails and the base was just made of distressed wood.  Even though the experience was terrifying, it was worth it in the end, because the views from the top of the temple were simply amazing!!
