Staro Hopovo monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Fruska Gora, Serbia

The monastery contains a stone and brick church with a central dome, surrounded by dormitories on the southern, western, and northern sides.

The original monastery, built between 1496 and 1520 by Despot Djordje Brankovic, was destroyed in an earthquake in 1751 and rebuilt the following year.

The interior walls display complete fresco paintings, while the carved iconostasis was created by Jefrem Isajlovic between 1793 and 1800.

Located 3 kilometers east of Novo Hopovo Monastery, the site is accessible through paved roads that wind through the Fruska Gora landscape.

Near the monastery grounds, visitors can find a chapel spring of cold drinking water and a sulfur spring maintaining a temperature of 18.5 degrees Celsius.
