Klisura Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Dobrače, Serbia

The monastery includes a church with an eight-sided dome, residential buildings, and a wooden belfry near the Moravica River gorge.

Built in the 13th century, the monastery underwent multiple reconstructions after destructions, including restorations following fires in 1688 and during World Wars.

The church contains frescoes depicting Serbian saints and rulers, plus icons created by painters Simeon Lazovic and Dimitrije Posnikovic.

Located 13 kilometers south of Arilje along the route to Ivanjica, the monastery functions as a nunnery and accepts visitors.

The monastery changed its name from Dobrača to Klisura in the 18th century after heavy rains altered the surrounding landscape.

Location: Arilje Municipality
