The tour starts at 09:30 h. Starting from the beautiful Zlatar Mountain, after half an hour drive we reach the first destination - the Milesheva Monastery, a heritage that for centuries preserves Serbian history, tradition and culture through art whose significance is immeasurable and beauty is sumptuous and timeless. The Milesheva Monastery, one of the greatest shrines that has played an invaluable role in the cultural, spiritual and national history of our people, is known to Serbs as the home of the famous White Angel fresco, but also the burial place of Saint Sava. It is located six kilometers from Prijepolje on the Mileševka River. The medieval monastery, the endowment of Serbian King Vladislav Nemanjic, was erected in the first half of the 13th century. The seat of the diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church, on the walls of the eight centuries old, preserves some of the most valuable achievements of Serbian fresco painting.
