Zica Monastery is one of the many orthodox monasteries in the Central Serbia. It is located in the surroundings of Kraljevo and it is a walled building. As other monasteries, it has a very beautiful wall and in the inner part there is the main church (it is red), which is well-preserved, and some buildings, where religious live nowadays. Very interesting and beautiful place to visit the real religious Serbia.

The architecture, the frescoes and the history behind this monastrery are fascinating. If you are lucky you can say hello to some of the nuns still conducting their calling after over 800 years.

Center Serbian spirituality. Wire Monastery is the crowning place of seven Serbian kings, should be visited if you are visiting Vrnjackoj Spa or the King, or bundled with the Studenica, if you are dedicated to visiting the monastery.

Always amazed when visit cultural and historical place, also well preserved, since it's around 800 years old. I was little suprized that it's right next to the main road, since monasteries are usually deep into the forest or somehow divided from "world". Everything is really clean, nicely organized, good parking with souvenir store and toilets.

Zica Monastery : very important monastery in the history of the Serbian nation, where Saint Sava, first Serbian archbishop crowned king his brother Stefan and later two sons of Stefan – Radoslav and Vladislav.

We were driven by Gradimir to this place. Please see information below.

Gradimir is an excellent, guide and driver, a very thorough and perfectionist professional. Never tired to drive and to show us all the different beauties of Serbia . His English is fluent. . His car is very comfortable.
Very attentive to your desires, always looking to go beyond and please his clients.
Gradimir is a joyful, cheerful person , full of humor and jokes. We had great laughs! »

Gradimir has a profound in depth knowledge of his country Serbia .He knows many different touristical attractions and major other attractions which are not in guide books but are a MUST. And he also knows very cheap places to eat local food and to sleep “local”.

Little did I know that when I was planning my travel to Zica Monastery in Serbia that I would be treated to such a spiritual experience! I had traveled here and to near-by Studinica to revisit places I had seen several years before, before I knew their significance and history. This time I was prepared, but not for what was presented to me! It was the return of the relics of St. Simon brought to the faithful to venerate and honor! St. Simon founded the monastery in the early 13th century and this place was important to Serbian history and especially Serbian Orthodoxy. Like clockwork, I was there to witness the bishop, hierarchs, clergy and monastics along with the faithful to honor the saint's return! I could not have ever dreamed that this would happen when at the same time as my visit!

The monastery, together with the Church of the Holy Dormition, was built by the first King of Serbia, Stefan the First-Crowned and the first Head of the Serbian Church, Saint Sava.
You will feel the spirit of serbian history that is still alive in this place.

This jewel of Serbian History dating back to 12th century has undergone pleasant transformation to accommodate numerous visitors. Now it has excellent parking and other facilities, excellent shop and friendly guides. Zicha (Žiča) Monastery is on the main road from Kraljevo to Mataruska Banja. Coming from the direction of Krusevac, instead of turning right over the bridge into the city of Kraljevo head left towards Mataruska Banja. The Monastery is only a few kilometres along the way.
