Davidovica Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Brodarevo, Serbia

The monastery stands on the banks of the Lim River against the slopes of Jadovnik Mountain, featuring traditional Serbian Orthodox architectural elements.

Built in 1281 following a contract signed between monk David and Dubrovnik builders, the monastery represents an endowment of the Nemanjic family dynasty.

The monastery holds 170 burial sites within its walls, including tombs that local traditions associate with warriors from the Battle of Kosovo.

Located 28 kilometers south of Prijepolje, the monastery maintains regular services and celebrates the Day of Annunciation as its main feast.

This monastery retains the only preserved medieval construction contract among Serbian religious buildings, discovered in historical records from Dubrovnik.

Location: Prijepolje Municipality

Founders: Dmitar Nemanjić
