Lazarica, Medieval church in Kruševac, Serbia
Lazarica is a medieval church in Kruševac built from white sandstone and red bricks arranged in a trefoil pattern. The structure rises roughly 17 meters with thick walls and decorative stone details across its exterior surfaces.
Prince Lazar commissioned this church between 1375 and 1378 as part of his fortified capital, which remained the center of Serbian power until 1403. The building reflects the political importance of this location during a critical period of medieval Serbian history.
The church displays the characteristic features of the Morava school through its cross-shaped layout and central dome, which still define the local landscape. The decorated stone facade draws visitors who come to experience the building methods of that era firsthand.
The church is regularly open to visitors, and guided tours can be arranged through the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Kruševac office. It is best to contact them in advance to confirm exact opening hours and tour availability.
The church houses remains of Prince Lazar in a silver and rosewood casket, creating a living link between the present and medieval Serbian history. This relic draws pilgrims and history enthusiasts seeking a direct connection to the medieval ruler.
