Janja Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Nova Varoš, Serbia
The monastery occupies a location on the left bank of the Uvac River, featuring architectural elements of the Raška school style throughout its structure.
Established in 1401, the monastery experienced destruction at the end of the 17th century and remained abandoned for three centuries until restoration began in 2008.
The monastery contains archaeological findings including a marble table, candle holder fragments, pottery pieces, and remnants of frescoes that detail Serbian Orthodox traditions.
Archaeological excavations revealed a single-nave structure measuring 9.30 meters by 6 meters, with ongoing restoration work continuing across the monastery complex.
The site encompasses multiple historical layers, including prehistoric burial mounds from the Bronze Age, Roman tombs, and a 9th-century necropolis.
