Overview

On this full-day tour to East Serbia, you'll visit two fascinating examples of the well known Moravian school of Serbian medieval architecture - Christian Orthodox monasteries of Ravanica and Manasija. Two gems built in perhaps the most dramatic period of country's history, tell us the saga of the two rulers, father, and son, who both became saints. A journey that will also provide insights into Serbian psyche.

Ravanica Monastery

Completed in the year 1377, Ravanica Monastery was built by one of the most important Serbian rulers ever, Prince Lazar, a brave nobleman who selflessly laid down his life on the altar of the fatherland defending the ideals of Christianity and liberty in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. The richly decorated exterior of the five-domed Church of the Ascension bears the seal of the Moravian school of medieval Serbian architecture, while the interior is decorated with rather damaged, but still striking frescoes. The coffin with the body of Prince Lazar is in the church and his relics are on display to believers and admirers on Sundays and other important Christian holidays.
