About

The Klisura Monastery, or formerly known as the Dobrača Monastery, is an active women's monastery that originates from the Middle Ages and belongs to the Eparchy of Žiča of the Serbian Orthodox Church. It is located in the village of Dobrače, 13 kilometers south of Arilje, in the Moravica gorge, after which it got its name. The monastery church, dedicated to the holy archangels Michael and Gabriel, was built at the end of the 13th century in the Raška style, based on the nearby church of St. Achille, in today's Arilje, which was then the seat of the Moravian bishopric. It represents an immovable cultural asset as a cultural monument.
