Mileševa monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Prijepolje Municipality, Serbia
The monastery stands above Mileševka gorge with a single-nave church featuring two low choirs and wide central and side apsida sections.
King Stefan Vladislav I established the monastery between 1234 and 1236, later moving the relics of Saint Sava from Trnovo in Bulgaria.
The monastery walls display 13th-century frescoes, including the White Angel fresco and portraits of Serbian rulers from the Nemanjić dynasty.
The monastery maintains regular visiting hours and requires visitors to wear appropriate clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the premises.
The monastery printing press, established in the 16th century, produced the first Serbian service books through monastic illumination techniques.
