SERBIA

A nice cover from Serbia, depicting a complete set issued in 2018 with 2 paintings located at "Sopocani Monastery". The Sopoćani Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Манастир Сопоћани), an endowment of King Stefan Uroš I of Serbia, was built from 1259 to 1270, near the source of the Raška River in the region of Ras, the centre of the Serbian medieval state. It is a designated World Heritage Site, added in 1979 with Stari Ras, the first capital of Serbia. The monastery is located 15 km west of the town of Novi Pazar.
