The interior of the chapel is richly decorated with frescoes, stained glass windows and stuccoes. The floor is covered with symbols: representations of the armillary sphere of the Portuguese discoveries and the Order of the Cross of Christ, surrounded by pentagrams.

The Rača monastery dates back to the 13th century. According to tradition, the monastery of Rača was built around 1275 by the Serbian king Stefan Dragutin (1276-1316). The monastery probably suffered during the fall of the Serbian Despotate in 1459, then immediately after the great migrations of Serbs into the Habsburg territories in 1690 and for the last time after the collapse of the first Serbian uprising in 1813. The monastery was restored between 1795 and 1799, and between 1816 and 1835.
