Sopoćani Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:15:57

Built in the mid-13th century by King Uroš (who is buried here), this was destroyed by the Turks in the late 1600s and restored in the 1920s. Frescos inside the Romanesque church are prime examples of medieval art; the Assumption of the Virgin Mary fresco is one of Serbia's most renowned.
