Manastir Tumane 1

Tumane Monastery

Tumane Monastery, situated near Golubac in eastern Serbia, is a cherished Orthodox Christian site with deep historical and spiritual significance. Founded in the 14th century, the monastery is associated with Miloš Obilić, a legendary Serbian knight who built it as an act of penance after an accidental injury to a monk in the nearby forest. The name 'Tumane,' derived from 'tuman' meaning 'fog,' captures the mystical ambiance of this sacred site.

The monastery features a stunning church dedicated to Saint Gabriel, surrounded by monastic buildings, tranquil gardens, and a small spring believed to have healing properties. Inside the church, visitors can admire frescoes showcasing Serbian medieval art, including scenes from Christ's life and various saints.
