Jošanica monastery

The monastery stands at the foot of Crni Vrh mountain, encompassing a church with two domes, wooden bell tower, and two lodgings from different centuries.

First documented in the 17th century, the monastery endured multiple destructions by Ottoman forces before its reconstruction in 1786 under significant architectural modifications.

The monastery contains the family tomb of knez Miloje Teodorovic and maintains its position as a center of Serbian Orthodox religious practices.

Located 10 kilometers from Jagodina city center, the monastery complex includes two large fish ponds, barns, and an old mill within its grounds.

During the Serbian-Turkish war of 1876-1877, the monastery transformed into a hospital while maintaining its religious functions for the local population.
