Ex-Central Committee of the Communist Party, Federal Executive Council, also known as Palace of Federation, Genex Tower or Western Gate of Belgrade, Sava Center, one of the biggest congress halls in this part of Europe, etc. Even the famous MOMA museum from New York dedicated a special exhibition called "Toward a Concrete Utopia" to New Belgrade's architecture. New Belgrade will show you this city's different face, including the buildings architecturally similar to former Eastern block "brutalist" style, but also modern business buildings built in recent decades.

Their biggest competitor, Partizan Belgrade, has a stadium just across a small hill, and their rivalry is lasting for more than 70 years.
The Temple Of Saint Sava
Coming from Dedinje, we'll visit the Vračar area, where we can see one of Belgrade's most prominent landmarks – The Church of St. Sava (also known as St. Sava Temple), one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The Temple of St Sava has an enormous dome that you can see from all over the city. Size apart, the church is undeniably a highly impressive structure. Construction began in the 1930s, at the site where the occupying Ottoman forces burned the relics of St. Sava (1175-1236) St Sava was the founder and the first archbishop of the independent Serbian Orthodox Church, and Serbians widely recognize him as one of the most important figures in Serbian history. Built in the Serbian-Byzantine style, the church occupies an area of 3500 m² at floor level, with an additional 1500 m² in the three galleries on the first level. At its highest point, the dome is 70 m in height, while the central gilded cross is an additional 12 m high, giving the Cathedral a total height of 82 m. Beneath the floor of the church, there are vaults and the lovely decorated crypt of Saint Sava.
