The monastery’s architecture reflects stylistic shifts from the Byzantine heritage through to the present day, while its frescoes were created during a period when Europe reached its highest artistic achievements. The monastic treasures embody both artistic and spiritual value. Beyond all of this—and perhaps it should have been mentioned first—the Serbian monasteries have always been foremost places of prayer. Today, they remain places of prayer, yet they also stand as an important part of Serbian heritage, and therefore of national identity, as well as a significant chapter in the nation’s history. Over the course of the day, visitors will come to know Serbian history, culture, and the most beautiful stretches of untouched surrounding nature.
