Stari Manastir, a photo from Serbia, North

Photographer's Note

Stari Manastir Ravanica.

Pogled na manastir i stare zidine.
Manastir Ravanica je zidan od 1375 do 1377.godine u moravskom stilu i nalazi se u selu Senje kod Cuprije.
Manastir Ravanica je zaduzbina kneza Lazara, koji je predvodio srpsku vojsku u boju na kosovu 1389.godine protiv turske vojske, posle bitke je pogubljen odsecanjem glave. U manastiru se nalaze mosti kneza Lazara.
Manastir je bio u utvrdjenju koje ga je stitilo svojim velikim i mocnim zidinama od osvajaca i pljackasa.
Dugo su odolevale, dosao je mocni osvajac i srusio tvrdjavu, ostale su uspomene na mocne careve, njihove gradove i manastire.
Osvajac je doneo novu kulturu i veru, ali narod, njegove obicaje i staru kulturu nije mogao da pobedi.

Pogledajte i fotografiju u radionici.

Old Manastir Ravanica.

View of the Monastery and old walls.
Ravanica monastery was built from 1375 to 1377.years the Morava style and is situated in the village of Senje at Cuprija.

Hi Pavle
Grand combo of monasteries of various age, size and location but i find there's something common in their architectural style - that's the dome! Very well detailed to your best of each with superb clarity soothed by natural green to counter balance. Another fine effort documenting this, Congrats
Best regards

Dobro vece Pavle, the successful collage displays Ravanica monastery from different angles. The complex is surrounded by thick forest. The monument has been partly renovated. Good place for praying.

Hello Pavle,
Four excellent photos of the monastery. The light was excellent here, I like the one in the top right hand corner most, the golden crosses are illuminated so beautifully there.
