PRIMARY SCHOOL DIMITRIJE TODOROVIĆ KAPLAR, KNJAŽEVAC, SERBIA

Lukin team: Milica, Dragana, Ignjat, Aleksa

The oldest military fortification in the Timok area, Timacum Minus (lat. Timacum - Timok, hydronym; lat. Minus - "lower"), was built in the valley of Beli Timok, near the village of Ravna, not far from Knjaževac.

Najstarije vojno utvrđenje u timočkoj oblasti Timacum Minus (lat. Timacum - Timok, hidronim; lat. minus - “donji”) podignuto je u dolini Belog Timoka, kod sela Ravna, nedaleko od Knjaževca.

The Church of the Mother of God in Donja Kamenica was built at the end of the 14th century, on the military road from Vidin to Pirot. Baroque towers give it austerity, and elements of the Moravian school give it beauty.

Bogorodičina crkva u Donjoj Kamenici izgrađena je krajem XIV veka, na vojnom putu od Vidina ka Pirotu. Strogost joj daju barokni tornjevi, a lepotu elementi Moravske škole.

Gornja Kamenica, monastery of St. Three

The Holy Trinity Monastery is located in the valley of Trgoviški Timok between Donja and Gornja Kamenica, 18 km southeast of Knjaževac. The church has the shape of a triconoch, with a small dome above the central part of the nave. The exonarthex was later added in 1874. The interior of the church was painted, but the frescoes were almost completely destroyed. Only a few fragments of frescoes that belong to the restoration from the first half of the 19th century have been preserved. The church is considered to be the endowment of the Serbian despot Lazar, the youngest son of Đurđe Branković, as evidenced by the inscription in plaster from 1454 ..

Gornja Kamenica, manastir Sv. Trojice

Manastir Sveta Trojica nalazi se u dolini Trgoviškog Timoka između Donje i Gornje Kamenice, 18 km jugoistočno od Knjaževca. Crkva ima oblik trikonohosa, sa malim kubetom iznad centralnog dela naosa. Egzonarteks je naknadno dozidan 1874. godine. Unutrašnjost crkve je bila oslikana, ali je živopis gotovo u celini uništen. Sačuvano je samo nekoliko fragmenata fresaka koji pripadaju obnovi iz prve polovine XIX veka. Smatra se da je crkva zadužbina srpskog despota Lazara, najmlađeg sina Đurđa Brankovića, kako svedoči natpis u malteru iz 1454. godine.
