Monastery Jovanje, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Ovčar Banja, Serbia
The stone monastery complex includes a church with a cylindrical dome, narrow windows, and a bell tower added during the nineteenth century.
The monastery's initial construction dates to the thirteenth century during King Dragutin's reign, though it endured substantial damage from Turkish invasions in 1683.
The monastery walls contain medieval frescoes depicting religious figures including Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and Saint Sava alongside biblical narratives.
Visitors from Valjevo can reach the monastery via regular bus service to Pocuta village, followed by a three-kilometer walk uphill.
A drinking water spring near the entrance features a fountain from 1902, providing refreshment to travelers approaching the monastery grounds.
