The Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade's Vračar district was designed by Aleksandar Deroko and Bogdan Nestorović, with Branko Pešić revising the design in 1985. The Society for the Construction of the Church of Saint Sava on Vračar was the client. The infobox gives groundbreaking on September 15, 1935, while the text says construction began on May 10, 1935.
The infobox lists Neo-Byzantine, and the text says Hagia Sophia inspired it. The facade is polished white Volakas marble, with red Balmoral granite cornices. It is 299 feet (91 m) long, 266 feet (81 m) wide and 257 feet (78.3 m) high, and the ground floor holds 7,000 people.
Work halted in World War II, and permission to resume came in 1984. It was consecrated on May 10, 2004. The infobox gives completion in 2020, and the text says the exterior was finished in 2004 and the interior in 2020.
