Cave Church, Rsovci

The Cave Church of Saints Peter and Paul stands within a natural cave formation on Kalik Hill, featuring walls with a glass-like surface from water seepage.

Built during the 13th century, this religious structure received official protection status as a Serbian national cultural heritage site in 1981 to ensure preservation.

The northern wall contains a rare fresco depicting Jesus with a bald head, wearing Buddhist robes inside an octagonal mandorla, created by artists from Sinai.

Located 22 kilometers from Pirot, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors who can access it through a recently improved mountain path.

Water continuously drips from the cave ceiling inside the church, creating mineral deposits on the walls while local traditions speak of its healing properties.
