Blagoveštenje Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Ovčar Banja, Serbia

The monastery complex includes a central church dedicated to the Annunciation, surrounded by stone walls on the western and southern sections.

The inscription above the western entrance indicates the monastery was constructed in 1602 under the direction of hegumen Nikifor and the monastic community.

The monastery preserves the first printed book from Belgrade, Gundulić's Four Gospels from 1552, within its protected treasury collection.

The religious site maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and historical artifacts.

Serbian Patriarch Pavle received his monastic vows at Blagoveštenje Monastery in 1948, marking a significant moment in Serbian Orthodox history.
