Savina Monastery
The monastery of Savina consists of three churches: the small church of the Assumption, the large church of the Assumption and the church of St. Sava, from which the monastery takes its name. Although the monastery dates back to the 15th century, when it was founded by Duke Stefan Vukčić Kosača, it is probable that the small church of the Assumption existed as early as the 11th century. It is also said that the Church of St. Sava predates the monastery, having been built by the saint himself in the 13th century. The large Assumption Church was built later, between 1777 and 1799, and was built by the master Nikola Foretić.
