Jovanja Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Valjevo, Serbia
The Jovanja Monastery stands on the right bank of Jablanica River gorge, featuring a single-nave structure with a rectangular base and cylindrical dome.
Founded between the 15th and 16th centuries, the monastery contained a theological school until 1788, when Turkish forces burned down the buildings.
The monastery walls display preserved frescoes from the 17th century depicting the Great Feasts, Christ's crucifixion, and the Baptism of Christ.
The monastery lies 7 kilometers from central Valjevo, accessible by car through a route following the Kolubara River and crossing the Jablanica River.
The tombs of Jovan and Jevta Vitanovic, who funded the 1706 renovations adding two narthexes, rest at the south gate of the temple.
