One of the first monasteries in this region, magnificent in its architectural design, unique to its time and place. This monastery is more than 8 hundred years old and has many interesting stories connected to it.
Haven't heard of the most beautiful fresco paintings from medieval Serbian period. This is the place where you find them.

Did someone tell you that the special blue color used for frescos here was made of Lapis lazulie a mineral which was as expensive as gold. Witness it yourself!
If you want I can take you to the Monastery Studenica. It is 1h drive from Novi Pazar. However, definitely worth visiting. However the trip is paid extra 50eu because of the long trip.
