Manasija monastery was built as an endowment and a mausoleum of despot Stefan Lazarevic, a knight of the Order of the Dragon, enlightener and patron of arts and culture. In medieval sources it is referred to as Resava, and the name Manasija was adopted only in recent times.
It belongs to the Eparchy of Braničevo of the Serbian Orthodox church.
This project was supported by the Ministry of culture, sector of digital research infrastructure development in the areas of arts and culture.
