What To Expect

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.

    Our visit to the Ravanica and Manasiya monasteries was a high point of our travel in Serbia. Nikola was an excellent guide, explaining in great detail the significance of the monasteries in Serbian history. And seeing the nearly 700-year-old frescoes still visible on the walls of the monastery chapels was pretty amazing! The monasteries are not close to the capital (Belgrade), but the highways and roads are in good shape so it's not a bad drive.
