Sisojevac Monastery, Orthodox monastery near Sisevac village, Serbia
Sisojevac Monastery is an Orthodox religious site near Sisevac village with a square-shaped narthex and three apses. The exterior displays seven sides while the interior features semicircular forms.
Princess Milica granted a charter to a monk named Sisoje in 1398, marking the first documented mention of the monastery. This gift is considered its founding act.
The frescoes depict Old Testament scenes in the altar area and representations of Christ's miracles along with holy warriors in roundels. These images shape the interior today and communicate religious stories visually to anyone walking through.
The monastery operates today as an active Orthodox religious center welcoming visitors interested in its medieval architecture. It is worth checking local conditions and opening times before planning a visit.
The central structure underwent major restoration in the 1980s and the narthex was fully rebuilt in 1993. These efforts helped preserve vital structural parts of the medieval building for future generations.
