  • MONASTERY DRAGOVISerbian people from Bosnia started to inhabit the region of Dalmatia at the end of the 14th century. It is believed that in 1395 they built monastery Dragovi and its church dedicated to the Nativity of the Theotokos.During the 15th and 16th century, the monastery was raided several times by the Ottoman Turks. Nevertheless, the first certain facts about this sanctuary were written in 1593 by Abbot Pajsije in his annals of monastery Grabovac. In 1585, because of great femine, the people of Cetinska krajina together with five monks of monastery Dragovi left to Hungary and founded monastery Grabovac. Inspite of these circumstances, Dragovi was not completely deserted. Namely, three monks decided to stay in the monastery, and they somehow managed to reconstruct Dragovi. Unfortunately, in 1619, the monastery was raided by the Turks. It was then that complete Dragovi brotherhood, which now counted ten monks, was forced to go to monastery Grabovac.Monastery Dragovi was now deserted for seventy years. In 1694, Bishop Nikodim (Busovi) renewed the entire monstery after he had gained the permittion from the Venetian government. Thus, for a short period of time, the mo nastery was a See of Dalmatian Diocese. In 1698, Dragovi was again devastated by the Ottoman Turks and the monks found refuge on Venetian territory, in the village of Bribir. Next year, the Venetian government gifted the Dragovi brotherhood an old Orthodox church dedicated to the Nativity of St. John the Baptist and a good soil to build a new monastery. In 1699, after the Treaty of Karlovac, the Ottomans lost most of southern Croatia, so the monks were free to return to Dragovi and begin the new reconstruction of the monastery.

  • According to the Manuscripts from 1758, Bishop Stefan (Ljubibrati) built a new church and the See of Dalmatian Diocese was again moved to Dragovi. In the 18th century, the complete monastery complex was reconstructed. In that period the chapel of St. Paraskeva was moved out of the bell-tower. During the 19th and 20th century, the church was repaired, but its complete appearance was not changed from the 18th until the 20th century.The grounds on which Dragovi rested were highly unstable and this, together with increasing moist, convinced the monks to move the monastery to a better location. With Venetian permission, in 1777 hieromonk Vikentije (Stojisavljevi) began to build the new monastery in the Vinogradi, not far away from the old monastery. The reconstruction of the monastery lasted very long and was financially exhausting, until prior Jerotej Kovaevi finally finished it. Thus, it was opened again on 20 August 1867.During the Second World War, the monastery was again devastated. In 1954, when the artificial lake for the hydroelectric power station Perua had been made, monastery Dragovi was again moved on a hill not far from the old fortress called Gradina, and few thousands of Orthodox Serbs were depopulated. Complete monastery property and cemetery were deluged, so the monastery was left without its property. The monastery church was built with the material taken from the first monastery, and it was consecrated in 1959.

  • The iconostasis of the monastery church was well-known for the four throne icons of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Archpriest), the Theotokos (Madre della Passione), St. John the Baptist and Archangel Michael. These icons formed the Deisis composition, and above them were three more icons: the Mystical Supper, Prayer in Gethsemane and the Nativity of the Theotokos. Unfortunately, only two of these icons have been preserved. In 2009, two more icons were placed: the icons of the Archangel Michael and St. John the Baptist, the work of the Sisterhood of Trojeruica from ibenik.It is very hard to give precise information on the treasury of monastery Dragovi. In 1995, one part of the treasury was stolen and destroyed, and the other was transported to Serbia. Today, the monastery treasury consists of several icons (mostly from the 18th century), that were painted in North Dalmatia or Venetia; several antimensions (the most important is the antimension of Hristifor Defarovi from the 18 th century); as well as numerous precious works of applied art, that witness immense spiritual culture and history of this monastery. Special part of the monastery treasury belongs to manuscripts and numerous printed service books, which date back to the period from the 16th to 19th century. In 1995, monastery Dragovi to get her with the people of Cetinska krajina went through one more suffering. The monastery was deserted, the church was turned in to a stable, and a refectory was devastated. In 2004, the monastery was reopened and a new phase of reconstruction started. In the period from 2007 to 2008, the monastery church was frescopainted by Zoran Grebenarovi and his colleagues. The history of monastery Dragovi is famous for it sreverend abbots and monks that dedicated their lives to theo gress and reconstruction of this monastery. Today, that place belongs to Bishopof Dalmatia Fotije, Abbot Varsonufije ( Rakovi) and hieromonk Jovan (Kovaevi).
