Zica Things to Do

This is administrative building of the monastery complex, with offices of priests, library, and all those "business" and "study" alike features. Believe it or not, but priests even have mobile phones, digital photo cameras and Internet! Some modern world this is...

This is the view of the monastery church from the back yard. Behind it there are beautiful gardens, and a lovely yard cultivated by nuns and priests.
The red colour of the monastery is said to be the symbol of the blood that has been shed so many times on these areas.

This is the image in front of the altar. Every church has a huge lustre hanging from the ceiling, attached to the dome, with the candles arranged all over it, in spite of the modern age electricity enlightement.
The altar is painted in old frescoes as well.

Every church has the main entrance, and the entrance inside the church, dividing the entrance "corridor" from the main church hall. his is that entrance. It's decorated with ancient frescoes and originally painted.

The monastery cemetery is situated across the road, opposite of the monastery main gate. You should climb the spooky stairs and open even spookier gate behind the white fountain (see general tips), and voila! The place is for burial of both priests and nuns. This is the cemetery church.

Here is a holy water spring in the back yard of the monastery. It is forbidden to take out the water, but you can drink as much as you want at the spot. here are glasses, but it's better to drink from your hands after all.
he water is said to heal all kinds of deseases, only if you believe hard enough.

Žièa is situated right beside the road, only a kilometer or two away from the city of Kraljevo, and the same distance from the spa Mataruška Banja. So, this entrance you just cannot miss, it's more than obvious!
