All monuments that are visited in this tour, due to their beauty and history, belong to the world cultural heritage under the auspices of UNESCO. People from all over the world come to visit these unique monuments of Serbian culture.
During this tour, you will experience the monuments of the Christian medieval Serbian state (Peter’s Church, Đurđevi Stupovi Monastery and Sopoćani Monastery), which represent the pearls of the fusion of East and West in architecture and fresco painting. Due to this unique synthesis, these monuments are visited not only by believers but also by lovers of history, culture and art.
With a breath-taking view of the mountains Golija, Rogozna, Kopaonik and the Pešter plateau, we continue towards the Sopoćani monastery, one of the most beautiful and unique monasteries in Serbia.
Following the valley of the Raška River, after which Ras got its name, we come across the remains of the town of Trgoviste and the fortress of Gradina above it. That settlement has a rich history because the data shows that it was inhabited by the Romans, and later it was an important military-strategic fortification.

After visiting Sopoćan, we recommend a rest or lunch at the idyllic restaurant Pazarište, where you will enjoy traditional Pazar meals with the soothing sounds of the Raška river and the intoxicating song of birds from the nearby forest.

Peter’s Church is one of the oldest religious buildings in the Balkans. Below this church was a Roman temple. You can still find parts of that temple in the church today, ask the guide.
There used to be a mound or tomb under the temple. Jewelry from the 5th century BC was found in it, which is kept in Belegrade History Museum. This makes this modest monument more than two and a half thousand years old.

If you want, we can also go to the Studenica monastery. It is located one hour’s drive from Novi Pazar. The monastery is known as one of the most beautiful, and perhaps the most beautiful monastery in Nemanjića, known for its frescoes and beautiful blue color.
