The Studenica Monastery

Under the UNESCO protection, the Studenica monastery is one of the greatest and the richest monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church. It is located 39 km far from Kraljevo, and was founded by Stefan Nemanja in 1190, later finished by his sons.
Nemanja`s third son St Sava, after making his brothers make peace with each other, transported the relics of St Simeon to the monastery of Studenica where they are today. Under Sava`s guidance the Studenica monastery  has become a political, cultural and spiritual centre of medieval Serbia. St Sava wrote Studenica`s Typicon, in which he organized  the life of monks in the monastery. He described the life of his father Stefan Nemanja (the Serbian ruler, later the monk and saint St Simeon) in The Hagiography of  St Simeon Nemanja, and left the valuable sources of the life of his father.
Studenica was important to other members of the Nemanjic Dynasty. The king Radoslav added one part to the monastery, and the King Milutin built the small church dedicated to the St Joakim and Ana.

Fortified walls of the monastery surround four churches: The Church of Mother of God, The King`s Church (St Joakim and Ana Church), both built of marble, Church Nikoljaca (St Nikola`s Church), and one more church, preserved in its foundation. The Studenica monastery is famous for its XIII and XIV century fresco collection. UNESCO placed  the Studenica monastery on its list of World Heritage List
