The Manasija monastery was founded by Despot Stefan
Lazarevic. The church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was erected and painted
between 1407 and 1418. The monastery is surrounded by massive walls and towers.
Since the end of the XVIIth century Manasija monastery has been assembling by
educated monks who have fostered literary and copying work, called the Resava
School.

is one of the most frequently visited places in our country. This might be
