Ravno

Ravno stands where the Ravanica joins the Great Morava, at a crossing used since Roman times. The Romans knew the settlement as Horreum Margi; in the Middle Ages it became Ravno, and later took the name Ćuprija from an Ottoman bridge. Nearby, Prince Lazar founded the monastery of Ravanica, whose church is an important work of medieval Serbian architecture. Its painted walls include the prince and his family among the figures commemorated by the foundation.
