Studenica

The Studenica Monastery was the most prominent and revered monastery of medieval Serbia, having served as the residence of Stefan Nemanja, the founder of the Nemanjic Dynasty, and his son Sava, the first Serbian archbishop.

This well-preserved 13th century monastery sits at the end of a 12-kilometer road, which begins in the small town of Usce and winds through the Ibar River gorge. The monastery is beautifully set on the wooded slopes of Mount Radocelo.

Visitors can see the Church of the Virgin, Church of St. Nicholas, and the King's Church. Studenica is 39 kilometers southwest of Kraljevo in Central Serbia.
