Divljana Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Bela Palanka, Serbia.
The monastery stands at 450 meters elevation in the Suva Planina foothills, offering views of Svrljig Mountains and Šljivovački vrh.
The initial structure dates from 394, with archaeological evidence showing ancient burials from the 4th century, marked by two preserved capitals.
The monastery holds religious services on November 8th to honor Saint Demetrius, following Serbian Orthodox traditions and ceremonies.
