Description
Pridvorica Monastery is situated in the village of Pridvorica near the city of Ivanjica. It was probably built by a servant who came from the Nemanjić court around 1195. It is a single nave edifice with three bays, an octagonal dome, a three partite apse and a narthex. Next to the Western bay are side chapels. Remains of the frescoes can be seen in the upper zones of the edifice. The church was renewed in the 16th and the 19th century. Interestingly the monastery has its own coat of arms.
