Serbia sightseeing. Travel guide - attractions, sights, nature and touristic places

Some interesting sights can be seen in the city of Kraljevo, where travelers can see a beautiful landmark - the Studenica Monastery. This is the largest Orthodox Christian church of the country, which is considered the head church for all other churches and cathedrals. The building of the monastery started yet in 1190, and in less than 10 years Studenica became an important religious center of the country. The modern monastery complex includes the church of the Mother of God, the Royal church, a cathedral and a bell tower. All the buildings have a great cultural importance and are worth visiting.
Pristina is another popular travel destination in Serbia. Travelers are recommended not to forget to visit the Fatih Mosque that was built in the middle of the 15th century by order of Fatih Sultan Mehmed. Walls of the mosque are decorated with skillful arabesques made by best Serbian masters. The mosque was severely damaged during the years of war with Turkey, and in 1955 its minaret was completely destroyed by an earthquake. The mosque was completely restored later and now it's a very important landmark.

The main peculiarity of the Danube is underwater caves. They have not been investigated, so only experienced divers can dive here.
