Manastir Naupare

by viddra

13km from Kruševac, on the right bank of the Rasina River, in the really exceptional surroundings, there's yet another Prince Lazar's endowment, Manastir Naupare (the Naupare Convent). That's why the building's similar to the Lazarica Church, but built only a little earlier. It was reconstructed several times.

It used to be a monastery (until 1950), but now it's a convent.
