MONASTERIES
Monastery Ravanica
Monastery Ravanica
The domes are painted with frescoes of Christ, the Virgin Mary, angels and prophets, in the sanctuary are representations of Christ's suffering and embodiments, while in the main nave are cycles of Great Feasts, Miracles and gospel stories and the holy warriors and monks. In the church today are relics of Prince Lazar.
To date, three towers and part of the northern wall is saved, but in those days need of defending the monastery erected in the valley, very large fort would certainly be necessary. In the ancient sources it is mentioned that the monastery had seven Pirg fort (towers), while a writer 1568 records seeing only 4 preserved towers. In the first half of the nineteenth Century, precisely on 1829 , there was still a large dining room from the Middle Ages within the monastery complex, but today it is largely in ruins.
