Davidovica Monastery

The monastery of Davidovica dates back to the 13th century (1281 or 1282). Only the church of the monastery, dedicated to the feast of Epiphany, has survived to the present day. It was built on the foundations of a Byzantine basilica from the 6th century, as evidenced by archaeological research which revealed the foundations of the basilica and the remains of a necropolis from the Byzantine period. The monastery itself was destroyed and abandoned at the end of the 17th century and remained in ruins until 1998 when the monastery church was renovated.
