New Collection: Monastery Ravanica

We have published the collection of Monastery Ravanica. The collection includes over a thousand pictures taken during our visits to the monastery in June 2024. The Monastery of Ravanica is located in central Serbia, near the town of Ćuprija, in the foothills of the Kučaj mountains. The monastery church dedicated to the Ascension is the foundation of Prince Lazar and his mausoleum church. Based on the later copies of the founding charter, it can be deduced that its construction was completed in 1381. Painting was finished, most likely, around 1385.

BLAGO first visited Ravanica in 1988, at the dawn of digital photography. Given the significant advancements in digital technology, a new visit was necessary to capture improved images.
