10 CHURCH OF SAINT SAVA The Church of Saint Sava is a Serbia Orthodox church located on the Vračar plateau in Belgrade. It is one of the largest Orthodo churches in the world and ranks amongst the tenlargest church buildings in the world. The church is dedicated to Saint Sava, the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and an important figure in medieval Serbia. It is built on the Vračar plateau, on the location where his remains were burned in 1595 by Ottoman Grand Vizier Sinan Pasha. From its location, it dominates Belgrade's cityscape, and is perhaps the most monumental building in the city. The building of the church structure is being financed exclusively by donations. The parish home is nearby, as will be the planned patriarchal building.

11 WHITE PALACE The White Palace is a former royal residence of the Kara đ or đ ević dynasty. The palace is located in the Royal Compound, in the Dedinje neighborhood of Belgrade. The White Palace located in the same complex as the Royal Palace, the official residence of the Kara đ or đ ević royal family. The palace was designed by architect Aleksandar Đor đ ević, in a neo-Palladian manner inspired by the 18th century English houses such as Ditchley Park. Its interior was decorated with English Georgian and 19th century Russian antiques by the French design firm Jansen, which later decorated the White House during the administration of John Kennedy.
