Naupara Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Naupara, Serbia

The monastery complex contains a church with a dome and a bell tower, located at the foot of Jastrebac Mountain 30 kilometers from Kruševac.

Built in 1391 by monk Dorotheus of Hilandar, the monastery experienced destruction by Turkish forces in 1454 and underwent reconstruction in 1835 by the Simić brothers.

The church presents two large medieval stone rosettes above the western entrance and 25 smaller ones on the walls, representing months and religious motifs.

The monastery functions as a nunnery where sisters maintain the grounds and religious practices, welcoming visitors interested in Serbian religious heritage.

The structure exemplifies Morava school architecture with its trefoil base, detailed stone ornaments, and elaborate facade decorations characteristic of medieval Serbian design.
