Monastery of The Saint Archangels Michael and Gabriel, also known as Binač Monastery (Манастир Бинач), or Buzovik (Бузовик), was a Serbian medieval Eastern Orthodox monastery, built in the 14th century.[1] The church had a rectangular foundation, a semi-round apse and a semi-cylindrical vault. There were two layers of frescoes, one on top of the other. The newer layer, from the 16th century, showed archbishops at liturgy. [2]
It was located near the town of Viti. The monastery was destroyed in June 1999, by Albanians. [3] [4] [5]
