Founded in the 12th century, this Orthodox monastery (Манастир Свети Илија/Manastir Sveti Ilija) is isolated in a forest 630 m above sea level. Guarded by a family that lives there, it is famous for its so-called "miraculous" water source (against eye diseases). Its catholicon is a small rock church which preserves damaged frescoes of the XIVth century and a beautiful iconostasis in carved wood of the XIXth century. Some scenes from the film Before the Rain (1994) were filmed here.

Bel endroit
Bel endroit que nous avons atteint après une longue marche dans une belle forêt. Nous avons été accueillis très gentiment et avons pu visiter l' église . malheureusement les fresques sont assez mal préservées.
