Continue to Manasija. Visit of the Manasija Monastery, founded by despot Stefan Lazarevic in the first half of the 15th century, where the most beautiful frescoes are found. The monumental rampart with 11 towers, encircled by a moat, represented at the time a modern defence system of the monastery. Drive to Niš for overnight in hotel.

After breakfast we leave to Studenica. Founded at the end of the 12th century by Stevan Nemanja, creator of the medieval Serbian state, the Studenica monastery is the largest and the richest of the Orthodox monasteries in Serbia. Its two main monuments, the Church of the King, built in white marble, make it a veritable conservatory of Byzantine painting of the 13th and 14th centuries. Departure to Zlatibor.

Return to hotel for overnight.

Breakfast at the hotel and drive towards Belgrade. On the way we will stop at a small town of Topola, which until today resembles a typical 19th century town. Discover the Oplenac complex including the Church of Saint-George, built in the Serbo-Byzantine style, the tomb of Karadjorjevic dynasty, the King Peter’s house and the King’s Cave, storing the oldest wines in Serbia. The church was built as the temple and mausoleum of the sovereign family of Karadjordjevic, and its interior is decorated with a mosaic made of 40 million cubes in 15,000 shades.
