Sight 7: Saint Sava Cathedral
The Church of Saint Sava is a 79 m high Serbian Orthodox church, which sits on the Vračar plateau in Belgrade, Serbia. It was planned as the bishopric seat and main cathedral of the Serbian Orthodox Church. 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 presumed location of St. Sava's grave. His coffin had been moved from Mileševa Monastery to Belgrade. The coffin was placed on a pyre and burnt in 1595 by Ottoman Grand Vizier Sinan Pasha. Bogdan Nestorović and Aleksandar Deroko were finally chosen to be the architects in 1932 after a second revised competition in 1926–27. This sudden decision instigated an important debate in interwar Yugoslavia which centered around the temple's size, design and symbolic national function. This was accompanied by a sizeable increase in the base area of the ambitiously conceived project. The new design departed from the competition guidelines issued in 1926, and was to replicate the dimensions and architecture of Hagia Sophia.

Vračar plateau is a plateau on top of the Vračar Hill in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, with an absolute height of 134 metres above sea level.

The dominant position in Belgrade's cityscape made the plateau a natural location for the first meteorological observatory in Serbia, Belgrade Meteorological Station, built in 1891. The most distinctive feature of the plateau today is a massive Church of Saint Sava, visible from almost all approaches to the city, and one of the Belgrade's main landmarks. The plateau also houses Karađorđe's Park, Park Milutin Milanković, monument of Karađorđe Petrović and National Library of Serbia.

Sight 12: Кућа Момира Коруновића
The house of architect Momir Korunović is located in Belgrade, on the territory of the municipality of Vračar. It was built in 1924 and represents an immovable cultural property as a cultural monument. The house was built by architect Momir Korunović, for his own needs and according to his project as a single-storey family house with an attic. It is modeled on Central European family houses with a garden and a decoratively processed fence. On the spacious facades, original details of architectural plastic were applied, composed of combinations of circles and triangles placed around arched openings. The asymmetry in the façade design, achieved by the contrast of sloping roof shapes and vertical window openings, indicates a modernist approach to the façade design.
