MONASTÈRE SAINTE-PETKA
Go there and contact
Stunning Serbian Orthodox monastery (2006) with Russian-style golden bulb bell towers and a building nicknamed "Little Versailles".
This Serbian Orthodox monastery (Manastir Svete Petke/Манастир Свете Петке) was founded in 2006 in the "Five Lakes" district (Pet Jezera, 3 km northeast of the city center). It amazes with its five Russian-style golden bulb bell towers. It is dedicated to Saint Parasceva, an 11th-century Eastern ascetic who took the place of the South Slav deity Petka in the Balkans. The complex also houses an imposing retirement home for Orthodox clergy. Richly decorated, this building is nicknamed the "little Versailles" (mali Versaj) by the locals.
