Serbian Orhodox Monastery
Built from 1205 to 1208 AD, by the first Serbian coronated king Stefan Prvovenčani, and his brother Rastko aka Sveti Sava (the most famous Serbian saint), and it is devoted to our Lord's resurrection.
It is on the identical same distance from the Byzantine Empire capital - Constantinople (today's Istanbul), and Western Roman Empire capital - Rome. hus it makes Serbia, and Žiča in particular, a place on the crossroad between Eastern and Western World, which has always caused problems and confrontations in the area, unfortunately...

Dugo me nije bilo, i kad dodjem, naletim na ovu tvoju stranu..ne znam kako mi je to dosad promaklo :) Fenomenalno!! | lpx Fri Jan 25, 2008 21:26 UTC
Looks similar to the one in Pec. You need a passport to visit as it is in the KFOR secure zone. It has some 13th century frescos which have awarded it UNESCO protected status. | GyuriFT Sat Dec 1, 2007 02:00 UTC
Not just priests in Zhicha have mobile phones, but monks in Hilandar have servers and the Gigabit Ethernet is being built there with NAS coming sometimes 2008. | branx Fri Feb 2, 2007 01:45 UTC
