Temska Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Pirot, Serbia.
The Temska Monastery stands on the slopes of Stara Planina mountain range, featuring medieval architecture and fifteenth-century religious frescoes depicting biblical narratives.
Founded in the fourteenth century by the Dejanović family, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1836 after experiencing destruction during Turkish occupation in the late eighteenth century.
This Monument of Culture of Great Importance maintains Serbian Orthodox traditions through religious services, festivals, and preservation of medieval architectural elements.
The monastery welcomes visitors throughout the year, with accommodations available at Hotel Happy in nearby Dimitrovgrad for extended spiritual or cultural visits.
Local records indicate the monastery was built upon an eleventh-century temple site, adding historical depth to its religious significance in the region.
