Врачевски манастир, Orthodox monastery in Vracevu, Serbia

The monastery complex includes a single-nave church with a dome and semicircular apse, situated on the northeastern slopes of Rogozna mountain at 570 meters elevation.

The Monastery of Saints Cosmas and Damian was established in 1316, destroyed after the Battle of Kosovo, and reconstructed in the 16th century with additional renovations in 1860.

The monastery holds religious services dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian, physicians known for their healing abilities, attracting pilgrims from surrounding communities.

Located 17 kilometers from Leposavic and 8 kilometers from Lesak, the monastery maintains a library with historical documents and religious artifacts open to visitors.

The monastery grounds contain what local traditions identify as the tomb of Duke Pavle Orlovic, connecting the site to Serbian medieval history.
