Dalmatinska Lazarica, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Biskupija, Croatia.
Dalmatinska Lazarica is a Serbian Orthodox monastery in the Dalmatian region consisting of a main church, monastic quarters, and additional religious structures. The complex displays the architectural style typical of this faith community in its local setting.
The monastery was built starting in 1874 and completed in 1889. Its construction occurred during a period when this Orthodox community was expanding in the Dalmatian region.
The monastery functions as a central point for Serbian Orthodox religious ceremonies and maintains traditional ecclesiastical practices within the Croatian territory.
The site sits in a hilly area and can be reached via the D1 state road or the A1 highway that connect major cities in the region. The approach passes through the characteristic landscape of the Dalmatian Hinterland.
The grounds sit on limestone karst terrain, a rocky and sparse landscape that transitions between coastal lowlands and higher pastoral areas. This particular topography shapes the location's character and gives the visit a distinct geographic quality.
