POREČE MONASTERY
Go there and contact
This Orthodox monastery (Поречки Манастир/Porečki Manastir) was founded around 1282 by the Serbian king Milutin. But most of the current buildings date from the 19th century. These form a beautiful enclosure around the catholicon, which houses 18th-century frescoes and fragments of paintings dating from the 11th to 13th centuries. On the road to Gorni Manastirec (pop. 10) is a chapel-shaped ossuary built in 1938. It houses the remains of 103 Serbian and pro-Serb monks and inhabitants who were massacred by the Bulgarian army on January 6, 1916.
