Serbian monasteries were not just religious buildings but centers of literacy, diplomacy, and art throughout the Middle Ages. In his book, Vladimir Dulović reminds us that the Nemanjić endowments (such as Studenica or Hilandar) were the first hospitals and schools, while their frescoes, like the White Angel, were precursors to the Renaissance, created decades before the movement reached the West. This book faithfully conveys the role of monasteries as the pillars upon which the entire identity and culture of the Serbian people rest to this day.

Churches and monasteries are not only an expression of our faith, but also one of the most important sources of knowledge about the Serbian past, culture and history. Reading about these magnificent buildings, we actually learn what secular and church life looked like in the era in which they were built, as well as the subsequent fate that marked them to this day. Detailed and inspired descriptions are accompanied by colorful photographs and illustrations, which will fully convey the beauty of our sanctuaries to the reader.
