More info

During the First Serbian Uprising, the residential building of the monastery was the seat of the army commanding officers of the Serbian rebels. The church is a single-nave building in the shape of the cross. An archaic type of the cross places the church of Saint John away from the Morava school and closer to the Byzantine architecture. The façade of the western part is decorated in a similar fashion to the nearby Byzantine Latin church, and in the inside, special attention is drawn to the iconostasis from 1855, decorated with gilded woodcut.
