Pakra Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Sirač, Croatia

The Pakra Monastery stands in a small valley among the Papuk foothills next to the Pakra River, following the path of an ancient Roman road.

The monastery, established in 1699 by priests from Mileševa Monastery who fled from Ottoman forces, replaced an earlier wooden church built in 1556.

The interior of the church features a 10-meter-high iconostasis from 1779, containing 72 icons arranged in five rows with tempera paintings.

The monastery church currently undergoes foundation rehabilitation works, with archaeological supervision revealing wider foundation bases than the nave walls.

During excavations, workers discovered a semi-capital with Gothic profiles in the monastery yard, indicating the presence of an earlier religious structure.
