Bođani monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Bač, Serbia
The monastery complex includes a Baroque church and residential buildings arranged in the shape of the Cyrillic letter П, surrounded by gardens.
The monastery was founded in 1478 by Bogdan, a merchant from Dalmatia, who established it after regaining his sight at a local spring.
The frescoes created in the 1730s by Hristofor Žefarović mark the beginning of modern Serbian painting with their distinct interpretation of Biblical themes.
Located in the Bačka region of Vojvodina, the monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in its architectural and artistic heritage.
The monastery garden contains over 150 plant varieties from different continents, including the Egyptian cedar, though attempts to grow sequoia trees failed.
