Manastir Petkovica, Serbian Orthodox monastery near Šabac, Serbia
The monastery includes a church with preserved 16th-century frescoes, painted by three monks from Žiča monastery in 1588.
The monastery dates back to 1522 and was founded by Despotess Jelena, widow of Stefan Štiljanović, as part of her religious dedication.
The monastery church honors Saint Petka through wall paintings depicting the Virgin Mary with Christ and archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Visitors can explore the recently constructed parecclesion of St. Photina with Jacob's well and purchase items from the monastery shop.
The monastery survived demolition attempts during Ottoman rule when Serbian Patriarch Pajsije intervened with financial support to protect the structure.
