Sokolica Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Boletin, Kosovo.
The Sokolica Monastery sits at the base of a hill, featuring a church with a spacious narthex and a bell tower built between world wars.
Established in the 14th century, the monastery gained recognition for housing a Virgin Mary sculpture relocated from Banjska Monastery during Turkish threats.
The northern facade contains multiple inscriptions, primitive drawings of humans and animals, while the interior holds three historical books from different centuries.
Danish KFOR troops maintain security for visitors accessing the monastery, which remains an active religious site offering guided tours.
The monastery functions as a center for iconography where nuns create religious artworks and translate patristic texts under Abbess Macaria's leadership.
