Visit Manasija Monastery, a fortress built in the early 15th century by Despot Stefan Lazarević. This site served as a defensive structure against Ottoman and later Austrian invasions and was restored in the 19th century. The monastery features vibrant frescoes, intricate floor mosaics, and remarkable medieval architecture.
