Medieval Serbia

Take a step into the world which existed more than 800 years ago!

Meet the Nemanjić Royal family, the founders of the medieval Serbian state, the builders of Serbian spiritual wealth, and the Saints of the Serbian Orthodox church. Discover UNESCO-protected heritage – monastery Studenica which was established in the late 12th century. The monastery belongs to the Serbian sanctuaries of the Valley of the Kings. It is the largest and richest of Serbia’s Orthodox monasteries which enshrine priceless collections of 13th and 14th-century Byzantine paintings.

Step inside the coronation church, Žiča monastery where 7 kings were crowned and which connects different royal dynasties and centuries. Climb the hills towards the Maglič, one of the most well-preserved and most beautiful fortifications of medieval Serbia dating from the 13th century. Enjoy the views from the top of the cliffs of the Ibar Gorge.

Word of advice: Since we are visiting churches make sure you have something to cover your shoulders and knees. Also, we will be hiking to Maglič fortress so make sure to have comfortable shoes.
