Manasija Monastery in Serbia, built by Stefan Lazarevic (1377-1427) Prince and later Despot of Serbia. Monastery heavily fortified. Extensive early 15thC frescos, including unusual depictions of heavily armed saints, as well as Stefan dressed in gold, close to his tomb #manasijamonastery #serbia

I was thrilled to visit Serbia’s Manasija Monastery today. I’ve wanted to see its stunning early 15thC frescos for a long time and it very much did not disappoint. An absolute treasure of 15thC religious art #manasijamonastery #medievalserbia #serbia

Tomb of Stefan Lazarevic (1377-1427), Prince &later Despot of Serbia, in Manasija Monastery which he founded, close to fresco depicting him. For a long time the location of grave uncertain, with bones identified using DNA evidence (compared to his father). #manasijamonastery #churchmonuments #serbia
