About
"Saint Sava" House is in Belgrade, at 13 Cara Dušana Street; it was built in 1890. By its volume and architectural features, the building is an established cultural property and has the status of a monument of culture. The name "Saint Sava" House is printed on the attic, on the main facade, above the middle of the avant-corps, which was designed by Dimitrije Naumović, Belgrade brazier, at his own expense. Society of Saint Sava, also known as the St. Sava Society, founded in 1886 with the task of spreading education and national feeling of the people, raised the building of the St. Sava Building in 1890, intended for the storage of bodies and institutions of the society, designed by architect Jovan Ilkić. On 10 August 1889, the foundation stone was laid. The Company collected financial and material resources for the construction through contributions, organizing lotteries, organizing parties and loans. Therefore, the company also issued appeals. It sent letters to wealthy citizens. The press also helped by publishing and printing of various inscriptions with recommendations addressed to the patriotic public to that effect. Immediately after the opening ceremony of the building in 1890, the Management of the Company moved in, closely followed by the Saint Sava School and the Boarding School for Alumni of the Belgrade Trade Youth. Once, this building housed the state archives, school for the deaf of the Stefan Dečanski Society, First Belgrade Grammar School and others.
