One of the most valuable monuments of Serbian medieval culture is located on top of an Old Ras hill 4 km northwest of Novi Pazar – monastery of Djurdjevi stupovi.


The monastery was built by the founder of the Serbian state, Stefan Nemanja, and dedicated to St. George, as a sign of gratitude for the miraculous deliverance from the dungeon. He did so in the first years after ascending the throne of the great prefect, in the period 1170-1171.

Један од највреднијих споменика српске средњовековне културе налази се врху брда у Старом Расу 4 км северозападно од Новог Пазара – манастир Ђурђеви Ступови.


Манастир је подигао оснивач српске државе Стефан Немања и посветио га светом Георгију, у знак захвалности за чудесно избављење из тамнице. Учинио је то у првим годинама после ступања на престо великог жупана, у периоду 1170–1171.

The location of the monastery was carefully chosen on the hill that dominates the valleys of Raška and Deževa, and from this place there is a magnificent view of Novi Pazar:

Локација манастира пажљиво је изабрана на брду које доминира долинама Рашке и Дежеве, и са овог места пружа се величанствен поглед на Нови Пазар:

Today, a pine forest has grown around the monastery, but at the time of construction, viewed from the valley, it seemed as if the church was in the clouds. One can only imagine how the church with two mighty pillars (stupovi) that served as bell towers worked for the people.

Данас је око манастира израсла борова шума, али у време изградње посматрано из долине деловало је као да се црква налази у облацима. Може се само замислити како је народу деловала црква са два моћна стуба (столпа) који су служили као звоници.

The monastery church dedicated to St. George is the first building of the famous Raška school or Raška style group in Serbian medieval architecture. The characteristics of this style are reflected in the solutions of uniting the Byzantine concept of interior space with exterior forms of Romanesque architecture. It was the first ruling endowment of the Nemanjić dynasty.

Манастирска црква посвећена Светом Георгију прва је грађевина чувене рашке школе или рашке стилске групе у српској средњевековној архитектури. Карактеристике овог стила огледају се у решењима сједињавања византијског концепта унутрашњег простора са спољним облицима романичке архитектуре. Била је то прва владарска задужбина династије Немањића.

No, it’s not a matter of image distortion due to the wide-angle lens – the cube is octagonal on the outside and the dome is really elliptical on the inside!

Не, није у питању деформација слике због широкоугаоног објектива – кубе је споља осмострано а купола је изнутра заиста елиптична!

As the first royal endowment of the Nemanjić dynasty, the church was richly painted, the nave in the period 1170-1175. and the narthex in the time of the second founder, King Dragutin. During the 13th century, the monastery was one of the “royal monasteries” and played a significant role in the life of the country. Unfortunately, with the Ottoman invasion and its demolition at the end of the 17th century, only traces of the rich frescoes remain…

Као прва владарска задужбина династије Немањића, црква је била богато осликана, наос у периоду 1170–1175. а припрата у време другог ктитора, краља Драгутина. Током XIII века, манастир је спадао међу „краљевске манастире“ и имао запажену улогу у животу земље. Нажалост, са османском најездом и његовим рушењем крајем XVII века, од богатог живописа остали су само трагови…

The other founder of the monastery is St. King Dragutin – monk Teoktist, who added to the monastery church and painted its narthex. He turned the entrance tower of the monastery complex into a chapel and dedicated the function of a tomb church to it, which he dedicated to St. Nicholas.

Here the frescoes are much better preserved and some of the most important moments in the history of Serbia are recorded: Four convocations – the convocation of Stefan Nemanja, the convocation that enthroned King Stefan Uroš I, the convocation where King Dragutin himself took power and finally the convocation in Deževa. The idea of ​​a hereditary monarchy and dynasty was woven into the founder’s composition of the first Nemanjićs (the so-called horizontal tree of the dynasty), led by Stefan Nemanja, Saint Simeon. King Dragutin is also shown in the chapel with a model of the church in his hand.

Други ктитор манастира je Св. краљ Драгутин – монах Теоктист, коjи je доградио манастирску цркву и осликао њену припрату. Улазну кулу манастирског комплекса претворио je у капелу и наменио joj функциjу гробне цркве коjy je посветио Св. Николи.

Овде су живописи много боље очувани и на њима су остали забележени неки од значајних момената из историје Србије: Четири сабора – сабор Стефана Немање, сабор коjим je устоличен краљ Стефан Урош I, сабор на коме je сам краљ Драгутин преузео власт и наjзад, сабор у Дежеви. Мисао о наследноj монархиjи и династиjи уткана je и у ктиторску композициjу првих Неманьића (тзв. хоризонтално стабло династиjе), на челу са Стефаном Немањом, Светим Симеоном. У капели je приказан и краљ Драгутин са моделом цркве у руци.

There will be a lot of work around the renovation of the monastery, because some parts are still hardly recognizable:

Биће још много посла око обнове манастира, јер се неки делови тек препознају:

How to describe the impressions from this place where the centuries have been archived? For example, as Nina does…

Како описати утиске са овог места где су архивирани векови? На пример, као што то ради Нина…

And now let's hurry. Another pearl of medieval Serbian culture awaits us:

А сад пожуримо. Чека нас још један бисер средњовековне српске културе:

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.
