Monastère de Slanci, Orthodox monastery in Slanci, Serbia.
Slanci Monastery is an Orthodox monastic complex situated on the southern slopes of Milićevo hill near Belgrade in the Palilula district. The site comprises religious structures and spaces used for worship and liturgical functions.
The monastery was founded in 1250 by Saint Sava and later rebuilt in the late 1300s under King Dragutin after he gained control of Belgrade. These two periods shaped the site into its current form.
