Studenica Monastery - Serbia

This is one of the cards i've recently received from Lilia "childish". We've traded 6 cards and now i'm waiting for 3 others but these are from a tag.

The 1st 6 cards are from Bulgaria and this one with the Studenica monastery in Serbia.

"The Studenica monastery is a Serbia Orthodox monastery situated 39 km southwest of Kraljevo, in central Serbia. It is one of the largest and richest Serb Orthodox monasteries.

Stefan Nemanja, the founder of the medieval Serb state, founded the monastery in 1190. The monastery's fortified walls encompass two churches: the Church of the Virgin, and the Church of the King, both of which were built using white marble. The monastery is best known for its collection of 13th- and 14th century Byzantine-style fresco paintings.

Studenica was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1979, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia, and in 1986 UNESCO included Studenica monastery on the list of World Heritage Sites." - in: wikipedia
