Đurđevi stupovi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Đurđevi stupovi (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђурђеви cтупови) (English: The Pillars of Saint George) is a 12th-century Eastern Orthodox monastery located in the vicinity of today's city of Novi Pazar, in the Sandžak region of Serbia. The church was erected by the Grand Prince of Rascia, Stefan Nemanja, back in 1166, on the spot where the Serbian medieval capital of Ras once stood. It is currently undergoing reconstruction and renovation. Đurđevi stupovi have entered a UNESCO list together with the complex of Stari Ras and Sopoćani.
