THE CHURCH OF SVETI JOVAN KRSTITEL (ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST)
| On the right bank of the river Otinja, on the south side of the hill where the "Isar" is located, a church dedicated to St. John the Baptist was built in 1350. |

It is a single-room church with no cupola. Its construction was supported by Jovan Probistipovic, Despot Oliver’s landowner. Today only fragments remain from the fresco paintings. The paintings of Czar Konstantin and Czarina Elena can be seen on the south wall around the entrance.
