| Čačak, Gradac Church of the Mother of God (Church of the Ascension) | Place | The Church of the Mother of God (today's Church of the Ascension of Jesus Christ) was situated in today's city of Čačak (former Moravski Gradac). It was built by the Grand Župan (Stefan) Stracimir, brother of Stefan Nemanja (RL. 9, 43, Mar 65) probably before 1186. It became episcopal Church in the 14th century, and later turned into a metropolitanate. During Ottoman occupation the Church was turned into a mosque. Today, on its place, a new Church, dedicated to Christ, was built. The first written testimonies of the Church are found in the Studenica typicon (1207–1215), and later in the Charter of the Žiča Monastery. It was a single nave edifice with a dome, tripartite apse and two bell towers on the Western side. The present appearance is the result of some adaptations, especially those into a mosque. |
