O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Dinding biara ini masih menyimpan 900 fragmen lukisan dinding asli dari abad ke-19, termasuk teknik fresco langka yang memadukan cat minyak dan tempera. Dua lonceng utamanya memiliki berat masing-masing 520 kg dan 1.200 kg, dan masih dibunyikan setiap pagi pukul 06.00.
Istaknuto: Di balik altar utama tersembunyi sebuah kapel kecil bawah tanah yang hanya bisa diakses dari pintu rahasia di belakang ikonostasis. Dinding kapel itu dilapisi ribuan pecahan mozaik buatan tangan para biarawan penyintas Perang Dunia II, tidak ada satu pun mozaik yang sama bentuknya.
Insajderski savjeti
- Bring a scarf or shawl as women are required to cover their heads when entering the main church.
- The best photo spot is at the northeast corner of the garden, where the golden dome reflects in a small pond in the afternoon.
- Come on Sunday at 09.00 to hear the monks' choir live with no extra charge.
- Ignore the souvenir kiosks at the main entrance. Buy monastery-made honey directly at the small shop next to the monastery office. It is 40% cheaper.
