Žiča Monastery

Place of coronation of the first kings of Serbia. Nice complex with old fresk in the church. Entrance free.

Amazing place, with some great frescoes. Nice and pleasant surroundings, really enjoyable in the spring.

A strong spiritual place. The monastery was the first seat of the independent Serbian Orthodox Church 800 years ago. Highly recommended for all history lovers!

13th century monastery, nice and pleasant atmosphere. Historical place where can be seen trace's of previous wars.

Great Serbian ancient monestery, part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

In the Žiča monastery, dedicated to Christ the Savior, seven kings from the Nemanjić dynasty were crowned in two hundred years. During each coronation, a new door was opened through which only the future king passed after which it was walled up, and precisely because of this, Žiča is called the "Seven Gates".

Autentic Serbian kulture, history and spirituality

Gorgeous. Although not as red as some tourists' photos show. Dear photographers, please make your public photos as natural as possible.

Medieval ortodox monastery. Parking places could be problem in the site.

Žiča is an early 13th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery near Kraljevo, Serbia. The monastery, together with the Church of the Holy Dormition, was built by the first King of Serbia, Stefan the First-Crowned and the first Head of the Serbian Church, Saint Sava. Žiča was the seat of the Archbishop and by tradition the coronational church of the Serbian kings, although a king could be crowned in any Serbian church, he was never considered a true king until he was anointed in Žiča. The architecture of the monastery is in Raška style which combines traditional Slavic architecture with early Christian church-design, and often utilizes a combination of stone and wood material. Some of the frescos in the monastery are made in 13th century and some in 14th century, and all are made in byzantine style. This monastery is one of the gems of Serbian historical heritage and you should definitely visit it.

Amazing medieval Serbian heritage since 13th century. Seven Serbian Kings has proclaimed their kingdom in monastery and it was first headquarter of Serbian Orthodox Church.

13the century Serbian Orthodox monastery - by tradition the coronational church of the Serbian kings, although a king could be crowned in any Serbian church, he was never considered a true king until he was anointed in Žiča.

Easy to get there, lots of parking space. It's worth a visit. Beautiful green yard and a very nice monument of Serbian culture.
