Milentija Monastery, Medieval monastery in Brus, Serbia.

The monastery features a church with semicircular apses and a dome over the nave, constructed according to traditional Serbian architectural principles.

Founded around 1430, during the reign of Serbian Despot Stefan and Đurađ, the monastery was potentially established by nobleman Radič Postupović.

The stone decorations of the monastery exhibit deep reliefs that represent a departure from typical decorative patterns of the Morava architectural school.

The remaining walls stand at approximately 2 meters high, with decorative stone elements now preserved in museums in Belgrade and Kruševac.

Archaeological excavations at the monastery revealed a child skeleton, suggesting historical construction-related burial practices common in Serbian folklore.
