Dobrilovina Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:50:54

Near the eastern boundary of the national park, 28km from Mojkovac, this monastery has an idyllic setting in lush fields hemmed in by the mountains and Tara River. Don't be fooled by the tranquility; this complex has been destroyed and rebuilt several times since it was founded (sometime before 1593, when it first appears in the written record).

If you knock at the accommodation wing, a black-robed nun will unlock the church but only if she’s satisfied that you’re appropriately attired. Dedicated to St George (Sv Ðorđe), the frescoes that remain inside the church are faded but very beautiful.
