... Josanica Monastery ...
There is no written documents
about the time the monastery was built. Although many resources are
noting that the church is built in the 17th century, there is
indications that the church was built much earlier, at the time of
Prince Lazar's rule in this area (1371-1389). (Source: "Manastir
Josanica" by Dusan Dacic, rector of St. Sava Theology University in
Belgrade, 1979). The first written document comes from the time of the
first renovation of the church, after much damage, in 1786.
The monastery is located around 10km west of
Jagodina near Black Peak Mountain
(Crni Vrh in Serbian) on Josanica river.
