Definitely one of the holy places you have got to visit when in Serbia. It gives the medieval vibes. You can climb on the walls and towers for the amazing view.

I am amazed, I visited a lot of monasteries, but this is the first one that left me breathless. the walls make a unique experience, all recommendations.

Another great medieval place. Gives your imagination a lot to work with. It was harder to leave than i could imagine, a place of such great spirit.

Its amazing place. It have brutal strong walls, lots of massive towers. Its amazing to try imagine how some medieval army attacking it. Its covered by climbing plants and look very romantic. In the middle is beatiful church.And at the end of August is here bigest midleage festival in eastern Europe.

One of the most beautiful orthodox monasteries in Serbia. If you want to visit towers and wall, you have to pay 5€ per person but we think it was worth it.

Amazing monastery. The walls that surround the monastery are impressive.In church, there are the Relics of Saint despot Stefan Lazarevic, the son of Saint Lazar

Wonderful place to feel like youre living in another time.

One of the most picturesque sites.

One of the most beautiful monasteries in Serbia. The monastery is surrounded by massive walls and towers.

One of the best places to visit and learn about Serbian history.

Beautiful place to visit..

Place you must to see

Pretty impressive monastery! A must see in Serbia! 🇷🇸🏰⛪️

I could describe this monastery with lot of words but until you visit this place by yourself its not going to be enough.Walls surrounding this monastery are looking so monumental.And then you step within the walls. The site of the monastery is the first thing you see. And its marvelous. Monastery is looking fantastic. It was damaged many times and it was rebuilt over and over. Very old. Inside of the monastery is very beautiful.Very calm and peaceful place.There is a souvenir store where you can buy lots of things for reasonable prices.For every recommendation.

History, culture and time... Time that brings you right in 14th century. Visit it at least one time in you life because, you live only once!

Beautifull, peaceful orthodox monastery. Calming mix of architecture and nature, you would want to stay a bit longer.

Gorgeous Monastery and Fortress surrounding it, highly recommend visiting while in Serbia.

Very nice place to visit. You can buy many souvenirs and items made by sisters from there

Manasija (Serbian Cyrillic: Манасија, Serbian pronunciation: [manǎsija]), also known as Resava (Ресава, [rɛ̌saʋa]), is a Serbian Orthodox monastery near Despotovac, Serbia, founded by Despot Stefan Lazarević between 1406[1] and 1418. The church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It is one of the most significant monuments of medieval Serbian culture and it belongs to the Morava school. The monastery is surrounded by massive walls and towers. Immediately following its foundation, the monastery became the cultural centre of the Serbian Despotate. Its School of Resava was well known for its manuscripts and translations throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, even after the fall of the Despotate to the Ottoman Turks. Manasija complex was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1979, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia, and monastery have entered a UNESCO Tentative List Process in 2010.

Breathtaking old monastery in Central Serbia. Build from 1407 until 1418 by Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević. It was the central part of Serbian culture in the Middle Ages.

This is beautiful place and one of landmarks in Serbia. History of one period frozen in one place. Nature is beautiful and fortress is magnificent.

Beautiful monastery, very nice historical cite.

Such a pretty site in Serbia 🇷🇸.

Nice and peaceful place

Manasija Monastery is a very wonderful and spiritual place and it has a lot of historical facts about Despot Stefan Lazarevic.One thing that I didnt like is that you need to pay 5 euro a person to climb the towers. The price is way too high for what the towers offer. Not even all of the towers are available to go on.

No words 😍

Very nice monastery, what remains of the frescoes are amazing, you could imagine how it would have looked when it was first painted in the 15 century. They also have a gift shop inside, which has a selection of religious stuff.

Very, very beautiful, peaceful place among the green hills. The monastery is surrounded by magnificent towers of the medieval fortress.

Beautiful place you must see in this part of Serbia. Do not miss it...

Beautiful monastery located in the mountains. Definitely worth the visit.

An authentic piece of Serbian history and spirituality. A must see.

A lot of NUNs :)

Beautiful place one of the oldest monasteries in serbia is a 600 years old . Quickly and easily comes to the monastery. All recommendations for a place especially in summer hot days because it is situated between the mountains ...

Just an renovated church!

A fantastic historical place

A great place of cultural, historical and spiritual experience.

Great place, beautiful monastery.

A 600+ year old monastery surrounded by a castle used to fend off the Ottoman Empire. Amazing place of great historical and cultural value!Even better if you happen to come by in the end of August when the Knight Tournament - Just Out is! :)

Medieval walls guarding beautiful church, in the middle of beautiful nature, place of great cultural and religious importance

Beautiful Serbian monastery and one of the centres of Serbian literacy.

Very nice monastery located in beautiful fortress ... like in dream! :)

Amazing monastery! Must visit!

Super

If you search for internal peace and absolute silence you will find it here. The fortress full of ancient story.

First-class monument of culture and art. A quiet place full of spirit, surrounded by pure nature.

Wonderful place

Gorgeous monastery, just like all the monasteries in Serbia, yet very beautiful and special in its own way. Dont get me wrong, Im not religious, but its hard not to have tremendous respect for people who buikt this and even those who still keep it as amazing it is. Plus the tremendously astonishing nature all around. Well, the place just needs to be visited!

Unbelievable and beautiful fortress and monastery from middle ages!

One of the greates Serbain monasteries, with most preserved medieval walls, on whic you can climb (price is 600rsd)

Important part of Serbian history.

Historical place, with amazing history

Well known historical place in the heart of Serbia. Was visiting with family and was wonderful. There’s a very nice souvenir store between old walls with many nice handmade religious and historical stuffs. Price can be a bit higher but still good. Strongly recommend to anyone who wants to visit middle of Serbia.

Beautiful place

Very nice historical and spiritual place

Just beautiful and a history background is incredible.

Beautiful monastery in a gorgeous setting. Not quite on the popular tourist trail (although it does get some groups), so it usually isnt too crowded.

Its a place with very positive Vibes .

Breathtaking!

Very peaceful, beautiful and magnificent place...

Rich with history. If there is someone knowledgeable to guide you, even better.

Beutifl Monastery.

The great piece of Serbian culture and history. If you are somewhere nearby, you must visit this beautiful monastery.

Very peaceful. Make sure your clothes covers shoulders and knees, keep your phones on silent and be respectful. No entrance fee. Their store in the corner has great home made juices and soaps, make sure you grab one.

Fortified 15th century monastery, very nice looking, revoking feelings of medieval times. Definitely a must see when visiting Serbia.

Historical masterpiece

If you want to get to know real medieval Serbia, you must visit this place. There you will find your inner peace.

Magnificent monastery!

One of the most important places in Serbian history, and also one of the best preserved.

Don’t miss it if you are nearby! Very interesting and beautiful place. The monastery picturesque and the fort around it is very impressive. You can climb to the tower and walk on the fort walls, which is highly recommended but a bit pricey. There’s a small souvenir shop.

Beautiful... breathtaking scenery and a sense of peace while visiting. Be mindful of dress code (women should have shoulders covered and should be wearing something past the knees). You can walk in the tower you will have to pay in the gift shop but kids are not permitted for obvious reasons. Lovely trip!

So peacefull

One among most beautiful monasteryes in Serbia... Visit it
