Prijepolje, City settlement in southwestern Zlatibor District, Serbia.
Prijepolje is a town in southwestern Serbia located at the convergence of two rivers. The settlement consists of multiple residential areas across a hilly landscape that extends across the broader municipality.
The town was established in the 13th century alongside the construction of Mileševa Monastery, a significant religious center. Before this, the area had been inhabited by earlier populations over many centuries.
The Mileševa Monastery holds a celebrated medieval fresco known as the White Angel, which reflects the artistic traditions of the region. Visitors come here to see how medieval Serbian religious art was expressed through painting.
The town is quite walkable with most areas accessible on foot due to its compact layout. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the hilly terrain means paths can be steep in some spots.
The town sits where two rivers meet and follows an ancient trade route that once connected the region. This location made the area a natural crossroads where different routes and cultures intersected.
