Manasija Monastery (Resava)

Manasija Monastery, also known as Resava, was founded by Despot Stefan Lazarević between 1406 and 1418 and is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The complex comprises a monastic church and extensive surrounding fortifications with massive walls and towers and is considered a leading example of the Morava school of medieval Serbian architecture. Following its foundation the monastery became a cultural centre of the Serbian Despotate; the associated Resava School was known for manuscript production and translations throughout the 15th and 16th centuries. The monastery was declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1979 and entered the UNESCO Tentative List process in 2010.
