New Collection: Monastery Koporin


We have published the collection of Monastery Koporin. The collection includes over a thousand pictures taken during our visits to the monastery in June of 2024. It is situated near the town of Velika Plana, in the valley of the Koporin River. The church presently dedicated to Saint Stephen (originally to Holy Archangels) is an endowment of an unknown nobleman. In the southern part of the west bay of the nave, the earthly remains of the founder are buried, which were once thought by some to be those of Despot Stefan Lazarević, but that has since been disproved after analyses were conducted. The portrait of Despot Stefan is preserved on the west wall of the nave, and based on it, the creation date of the wall painting is determined to be the beginning of the 15th century.
