Rača Monastery
Манастир Рача
A 13th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery hidden in the Rača valley at the foot of Tara Mountain.
Traditionally founded by King Dragutin, the monastery was historically known for the Rača scriptorium school, which copied manuscripts. It was burned several times by Ottoman forces and rebuilt; the surviving church dates from the 19th century. The grounds are peaceful, surrounded by streams and forest. Entry is free, but visitors must dress modestly to enter the church. It is about 5 km from Bajina Bašta and can be visited on the way to the house in the river and Tara National Park.
