Introduction

The Cathedral Museum, located within or adjacent to the Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade, Serbia, showcases the history of the Serbian Orthodox Church, religious art, and liturgical vessels. The Church of Saint Sava is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, built in the Byzantine Revival style. The museum's collections include medieval icons, hand-written gospels, religious ceremonial vessels, bishop vestments, and historical documents of the Serbian church. The most precious holdings are the relics of Saint Sava and medieval religious artifacts of the Serbian kingdom. The museum is a core place to understand Serbian Orthodox faith and national spirit, offering both religious pilgrimage and cultural study value. Visitors can explore centuries of Serbian ecclesiastical history through carefully curated exhibits that trace the church's role in shaping Serbian identity from medieval times through the Ottoman period to the modern era.
