Endangered
The Monastery of the Most Holy Theotokos on the slopes of Skopska Crna Gora, first mentioned in 1300 in a chrysobull of King Milutin. Emperor Stefan Dušan began its rebuilding in the mid-14th century, and his son Emperor Uroš completed it in 1357. Isaija the Serb and Vladislav the Grammarian stayed at the monastery. After the Ottomans removed its roof in the 18th century the church fell into decay; it was restored in 1926–1934.
