ske srednjovekovne kulture, Ma- nastir Manasiju početkom 15. ve- ka sagradio je Stefan Lazarević. Od tada je kulturni epicentar dr- žave, budući da je Stefan baš na ovom mestu osnovao čuvenu Re- savsku školu. Opasan jakim zidi- nama, manastir Manasija se nalazi u Pomoravskom okrugu u blizini Despotovca i jedan je od najzna- čajnijih srpskih manastira sred- njeg veka te najbolji predstavnik moravske škole. Đurđevi stupovi Jedan od najstarijih srpskih manastira, Đurđevi stupovi, na- lazi se na brdu iznad Novog Pa- zara, na šumovitom uzvišenju ne- kadašnjeg Starog Rasa. Manastir je podignut u 12. veku, kao prvi veći manastir u središtu srpske srednjovekovne države i kao je- dan od retkih koji je građen na ta- ko visokom uzvišenju. Sagradio ga je župan Stefan Nemanja u znak zahvalnosti Svetom Đorđu, pošto je uspeo da se oslobodi iz pećine u kojoj je bio zatvoren. Karakteri- stično za ovaj manastir je njegova arhitektura, koja predstavlja spoj stilova Istoka i Zapada, odnosno vizantijske i romanske arhitektu- re, čijim spajanjem nastaje nova
resentative of this style over time. Built in 1377 at the foot of the Kučaj Mountains near the town of Ćupri- ja, the relics of this monastery’s ben- efactor, Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović, who perished following the Battle of Kosovo, have been preserved in this holy place since 1392. Manasija Just 140 kilometres from Bel- grade, behind imposing high walls, stands the monument and temple of Serbian medieval culture that is Manasija Monastery, which was con- structed in the early 15 th century at the behest of Despot Stefan Lazare- vić. It has since marked the cultural epicentre of the state, given that it was right here that Stefan founded the famous Resava School in 1407. Surrounded by strong walls, Manasi- ja Monastery is located near Despo- tovac in the Pomoravlje District. One of Serbia’s most important medieval monasteries, it is also the best rep- resentative of the Moravian school. Đurđevi stupovi One of the oldest Serbian mon- asteries, Đurđevi stupovi [meaning St. George’s Pillars] is located on a hill above the city of Novi Pazar, on a prominent wooded rise of the for- mer fortress of Stari Ras. Built dur- ing the 12 th century, it was the first larger monastery at the centre of the medieval Serbian state and one of the few to be built at such a high el- evation. It was built by Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja as a show of grati- tude to Saint George after Nemanja managed to escape from a cave dun- geon where he had been imprisoned. This monastery has distinctive ar- chitecture that represents a fusion of Eastern and Western styles, i.e., Byzantine and Romanesque archi- tecture, the combination of which gave rise to a new epoch of construc- tion known as the Raška style. Stu- povi represented a prestigious mon- astery during the 13 th century, and also indicating its importance is the fact that it is the burial site of King Dragutin, the last ruler of the Ne- manjić dynasty, who ruled over Ras.
