  • 5/5 Jovan J. 3 years ago on Google
    Just beautiful. The monastery became a place where Serbian rulers, nobles, and church dignitaries were buried. The monks translated texts from Ancient Greek, wrote histories, and copied manuscripts (the most famous scriptorium was in Rača, known as the School of Rača, which flourished from the sixteenth- to the eighteenth-century); they translated and copied not only liturgical but scientific and literary works of the period. History of Serbian literature owes most of the creativity to the Račanska škola.

  • 5/5 Djordje S. 1 year ago on Google
    An Orthodox Christian monastery from the 14th century, built by Serbian viceroy Dragutin, from the Nemanjići dynasty. On the bank of the small river and just below the mountain Tara, this monastery was the centre of the manually copying religious texts and books thru the history. The monastery is calm and quiet, leaving you under the impression that you are far from the civilisation. In the back of the monastery, on the small hill i a beanc with the great view on monastery. Worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Бошко �. 3 years ago on Google
    Historic place, monastery, built around 1270 AD. Twice burnt by Turks, and twice rebuilt by serbian peasants. On a mountain Tara, near river Drina. Allegedly this was the place where Miroslavljevo jevanđelje was held for some time

    An Orthodox Christian monastery from the 14th century, built by Serbian viceroy Dragutin, from the Nemanjići dynasty. On the bank of the small river and just below the mountain Tara, this monastery was the centre of the manually copying religious texts and books thru the history. Even though it is only some 5 kilometrars from a nearby town of Bajina Bašta and practically bordering a nearby village, the place is calm and quiet, leaving you under the impression that you are far from the civilisation. Worth visiting, even if you are only interested in sight-seeing. There is an open exhibition of some of the monastery artifacts for all the visitors.

    This is a very peacefull and tranquile place. Beautiful old church and monastery complex. It used to safeguard Miroslavljev's Gospel during the WWII

  • 5/5 Nemanja J. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the most important orthodox monasteries soon to be a cyrillic museum so if you are around Bajina Basta you should visit this place. When visiting please do not disturb monks and dont wear anything short and revealing because it's disrespectful.

👍👍 You can easily drive to with a kilometre of the viewpoints - there are at least three of them next to each other, every one of them worth it. The short hike to these points is scenic and builds anticipation towards the breathtaking moments at the edge of the cliffs. If you do this one first, you’re...

👍👍 Nice tourist spot, the River House is a monument nice to see if you pass by. If you see the picture it's good to know that this is all you get, being there or not. There is no way to go to the house, you stay on the river bank and admire or take pictures. Or can enjoy a caffe or a meal in the restau...
