Manastir Mileseva

Kao mesto gde su se čuvale mošti Svetog Save do 1594. kada je Sinan paša naredio da se spale na Vračaru, Mileševa zauzima posebno mesto među manastirima Srbije. Ova svetinja nalazi se u dolini reke Mileševke, na mestu gde ona izlazi iz svoga klanca, na samo 6 km istočno od Prijepolja koje se razvilo kao manastirski trg.


The Mileševa monastery, with its Church of the Ascension of Christ, is located in the Mileševa river valley, 5 km east of Prijepolje. It was built in the 1230s by King Vladislav Nemanjić, grandson of Nemanja and son of Stefan Prvovenčani.

Mileševa is one of the most important centres of spirituality and art of the Serbian people. The monastery gained widespread popularity when the relics of St Sava were transferred there from Trnovo in 1236. In 1595 the Turks took the bones to Belgrade and burnt them in Vračar. A press operated in the monastery in the 16th century, in which liturgical books were printed.
