view of courtyard from porch landing

The entrance porch (čardak) overlooks the small monastery courtyard with monks' cells and other service structures. The stone panel roofs and whitewashed walls create a unity among the various monastery buildings surrounding the courtyard. The modern church of St. George is not shown.
