Sokolica Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Boletin, Kosovo.

Sokolica Monastery stands in Boletin, below the hill whose falcons gave it its name. Its small church is built of carefully worked stone with a shallow apse and a barrel vault; a spacious narthex was added later and a bell tower was built between the two world wars. The facades, especially the north one, carry primitive drawings of people and animals and old inscriptions.

The monastery was founded in the 14th century and gained particular importance when it housed a Virgin Mary sculpture relocated from Banjska Monastery during Turkish threats. These circumstances shaped its history as a place of protection for religious artworks during turbulent times.

The northern wall displays various inscriptions and ancient drawings of people and animals that visitors encounter while exploring the grounds. Inside, historical books from different periods document the religious life here across many centuries.

Visitors should be prepared that security personnel monitor the area and the site functions as an active religious community. Guided visits are available, and it is important to behave respectfully and follow local visiting guidelines.

The monastery's name comes from Sokolovo brdo, the falcon hill where falcons nested for centuries. Tradition holds that every householder had to breed as many falcons for his lord as he had sons. The church keeps a 17th-century Russian Psalter, a Bulgarian "Zavomaje ogledalo" from 1816 and a prayer book from 1838.
