Studenica

Mediaeval Monastery

It is the most important mediaeval Serbian monastery and a major spiritual and artistic centre of the Serbian people. It took more than a decade – from 1183 to 1196 – to create this most beautiful work of Serbian mediaeval architecture. Since the 12th century when its community was founded, Studenica has never once seen its monastic life interrupted. As the endowment and final resting-place of the founder of the Nemanjić dynasty.
