SERBO-BYZANTINE HERITAGE

An enormous Orthodox monastery in the Serbo-Byzantine style, with five magnificent gold-capped domes, isn’t exactly something you’d just stumble upon in the middle of a flat farmland landscape. However, that’s exactly what you’ll find outside the city of Bijeljina. The monastery, bearing the name of Saint Paraskeva of the Balkans, can play the part of any Orthodox religious complex, from Serbia to Russia. It also evokes the era of the ancient Byzantine Empire, with its awe-inspiring architecture, ornaments, and frescoes, both through its interior and exterior. The fields and the lakes surrounding it complete the sight. It’s a scene out of a dream… or a scene out of your next production.
