We heard that Dr. May and the Krag people were at Studenitza, an old monastery, halfway along the road to Rashka. On the flat fields behind the station were another gang of "Stobarts," the dispensary from Lapovo. One Miss H was in trouble, for thieves had pushed their arms beneath the tent flaps in the night and had captured her best boots.
Thus we must pay a large price for foreign salt, when we have plenty of it at our own doors." Next day, we walked about Caranovatz. It is symmetrically built like Csatsak, but better paved and cleaner. Coronation Church of the ancient Kings of Servia. Enter the Highlands. Valley of the Ybar. First view of the High Balkan. Convent of Studenitza. Byzantine Architecture. Phlegmatic Monk.
Thirty-five churches in this district, mostly in ruins, attest the piety of the Neman dynasty. The convent of Studenitza was built towards the end of the twelfth century, by the first of the dynasty. The old cloister of the convent was burnt down by the Turks. The new cloister was built in 1839. In fact it is a wonder that so fine a monument as the church should have been preserved at all.
