About Monastery

The monastery Ravanica, with its church of the Ascension of the Lord was built by Prince Lazar between the seventies and eighties of the XIV century.

The whole complex of Ravanica monastery, and especially the church, is an architectural entity of unusual importance.

Many prayers of those who prayed in the monastery temple were heard. Many were given healing from illness…

The relics of the Holy Prince Lazar were brought for the first time to Ravanica in 1390 from the church of the Holy Assumption in Pristina

The Ravanica paintings show important innovations in choice of subject and in style. The Ravanica frescoes are in a very poor state of preservation.
