Karadjordje monument and Temple of Saint Sava

The Temple seen from far

Vračarski Plato or Vračar plateau is a plateau in Vračar, Belgrade with an absolute height of 134 meters 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.

Nowadays, this tourist attraction houses the Temple of Saint Sava and Karađorđev park with the monument of Karađorđe Petrović, visible from almost all approaches to the city.^{[citation needed]}

In May 2021, the plateau was protected as the spatial cultural-historical unit under the name Saint Sava's Plateau. The government noted "symbolical, memorial, cultural-historical, architectural-urban and artistic values of the locality, which represents memory spot of two turning points in Serbian history: Burning of Saint Sava's relics and the First Serbian Uprising".^[1]
