KRUSEDOL AND HOPOVO

Krusedol About a dozen old monasteries, built mostly in the 16th century, are situated on the Fruska Gora, a range of low mountains extending across northern Srem along of Danube. These monasteries are interesting because of their architecture, which is often a blend in style of the Byzantine and Baroque. In some of them, despite the large scale devastations of the World War II, frescoes and fine high iconostases can still to be found. The best known among the Fruska Gora monasteries are Krusedol and Hopovo.
