Krka monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kistanje, Croatia.
The Krka Monastery stands near the Krka River, featuring a rectangular cloister with arcades and a Romanesque bell tower in its architectural design.
Founded in the early 14th century by Jelena Šubić, the monastery endured Ottoman attacks in 1647, leading to temporary abandonment by fleeing monks.
The monastery maintains a collection of ancient texts and artifacts in its library, preserving centuries of Serbian Orthodox religious traditions in Croatia.
The monastery welcomes visitors as part of Krka National Park, with designated paths connecting it to other areas of natural and historical interest.
The complex incorporates Roman burial catacombs beneath its structure, integrating ancient remnants into the religious architecture of medieval origin.
