Manasija & Ravanica tour

We will start this tour along the Belgrade-Nis highway. Upon arrival at the Manasija monastery (founded by Despot Stefan Lazarevic in the first half of the 15th century), you'll visit the best preserved medieval fortification in Serbia (its defensive walls include 12 towers).

You'll view the ruins of the old refectory and the Church of the Holy Trinity with its exceptionally fine fresco paintings. An optional lunch may be arranged at one of the restaurants in the Despotovac area or at the Stari Hrast Motel. In the afternoon you will visit the Ravanica monastery, founded by the Serbian Prince Lazar in the second half of the 14th century. Here you will see the most typical example of what is called the Morava school of Serbian medieval architecture. The monastery's five-domed Church of the Ascension displays rather badly damaged but very fine frescoes. A transparent coffin containing relics of the great and highly devoted Serbian ruler Prince Lazar, killed in the battle of Kosovo in 1389 and soon afterwards declared saint, is now displayed in this church (the relics can be seen only on Sundays). Then we return to Belgrade.

We offer private tours to Manasija & Ravanica with private English speaking guide by private car, which include hotel pick up and drop off at chosen time.

Tour lasts approx. 8,5 hours
