Society and culture

Culture

In the vicinity of Bajina Bašta stands the Rača monastery, built in the 13th century. Over its history, this monastery was destroyed several times, and then reconstructed. Rača Monastery's final destruction (after the Turks and the Austro-Hungarian Army), came at the hands of Bulgarian forces in 1943. It was restored after the end of World War II. The church was an important center of transcription and illumination of Serbia's manuscripts, with its monks known as the Račani, during the 17th century.

The Mileševa Monastery, built in 1234 near Prijepolje, was the endowment of King Stefan Vladislav I of Serbia, the son of Stefan the First-Crowned.

This monastery was the second most important in Serbia, after it received the bones of Serbia's most revered patriarch, Saint Sava, in 1236. The monastery has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, though 100 compositions, frescoes of individual figures, and fragments of important religious icons have been preserved. The most famous icon of Mileševa is The White Angel fresco, a famous, widely used religious icon throughout Serbia.^{[citation needed]}
