Walk inside
Saint Sava.

A real place.
A studied reconstruction.

This walkthrough is built in Blender and Three.js from photographs of the Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade. Its geometry creates a space you can move through; individual photographic patches supply the mosaics, icons, and stone.

The church’s published 30.5 m dome diameter and 65 m interior apex anchor the scale. Other dimensions, ornament, and lighting are approximate. Repeated decorative details are simplified, and photographic lighting remains in the textures. This is an interpretive architectural model, not a surveyed digital twin.

The public tour covers the central nave and its views toward the sanctuary. It does not claim to reconstruct unseen rooms or locate a baptismal font without evidence.

Some image fields remain partial where photographs obscure their boundaries or provide too little detail. Six outward-facing portraits on the crown of light are still unsourced; those plaque positions remain unpainted.

A separate exterior model follows the church’s white stone façades, copper roofs, central dome, smaller towers, and stepped eastern apse. Its proportions and ornament are photographic estimates. The exterior gallery includes earlier photographs where noted; the surrounding city is not reconstructed.
