Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

This small Orthodox rock church (Црква Свети Стефан Панцир/Crkva Sveti Stefan Pancir) has been nestled in a cliff since the 13th century. Behind a modern facade and bell tower, it preserves frescoes painted on the rock dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, including a Virgin in Majesty and an Eye of Providence.
