Sokolica Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sokolac Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The stone monastery stands on the slopes of Sokolica hill, featuring a church with a semicircular apse and a bell tower added between world wars.
The monastery complex dates back to the 14th century when Serbian nobleman Musa established it near a natural spring in the region.
The northern facade of the monastery contains numerous primitive drawings depicting people and animals, along with ancient written inscriptions preserved through centuries.
The monastery holds three notable religious texts: a 17th-century Russian Psalter, an 1816 Bulgarian prayer book, and an 1838 collection of prayers.
Conservation work in 1995 restored the original architectural elements while new dormitories constructed in the 1980s expanded the monastic facilities.
