Devič, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Drenica, Kosovo.
Located in the wooded hills 5 kilometers south of Srbica, Devič Monastery features a single-nave structure with a semi-circular vault and three-sided apse.
Despot Đurađ Branković established the monastery in 1434 at the site where Saint Joanikije, known for healing practices, lived as a hermit.
The monastery contains multiple layers of frescoes from the 15th century, including depictions of Saint Joannicius and scenes from religious narratives.
Eight nuns maintain the monastery grounds under KFOR protection, managing 60 hectares of land and 250 hectares of surrounding forests.
The marble tomb of Saint Joanikije remains preserved within a dedicated chapel, alongside a water well associated with the medieval healer.
