-Bishop Nikolai

The monastery's museum preserves the sacred objects that until the end of the 17th century belonged to the monastery of Tvrdoš and partly to the Mileševa monastery, which together with the autochthonous Savina's heritage form an unique whole of invaluable cultural, artistic and historical significance.
