Manastir Svetog Jovana Bogoslova (Monastery of Saint John the Theologian)
Poganovo, Serbia
The monastery is located in eastern Serbia near Pirot in the Jerma River gorge. The church was dedicated to Saint John the Theologian and constructed in the middle 14th century. Its frescoes date from the late 15th century. The konak and čardak are credited by historians as representative of 14th century artisan building techniques and style, but were built in the 19th century. A number of restorations and renovation projects have occurred over the monastery's history. The čardak is the small two storey structure in the center of this view. (photo 1988)
