Gornjak Monastery, Medieval monastery in Petrovac, Serbia
The monastery stands on the left bank of Mlava River, enclosed by steep cliffs of Mount Ježevac in eastern Serbia.
Prince Lazar established the monastery between 1379 and 1381, dedicating it to the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The monastery church features a trefoil foundation and contains the relics of Saint Gregory of Gornjak, a significant Serbian religious figure.
The monastery sits 130 kilometers from Belgrade, with direct road access through Ralja toward Veliko Gradište and Petrovac na Mlavi.
According to tradition, blind people received healing at a water source near the monastery, which originally honored Saint Nicholas.
