The Monastery in Zavala is located in Popovo polje, close to Ravno. At the beginning of the 16th century, when the oldest written document of the monastery dates to, a scriptorium (room for re-writing of books) already existed. In the second half of the 19th century the monastery expanded and it was reconstructed – some of the destroyed parts were restored, new dormitories were built, and a monastery school was opened. A characteristic feature of the monastery church of the Holy Dedication is that its entire north side abuts onto a rock. The frescoes of the church are considered as some of the finest artistic creations from the Late Middle ages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were painted in 1619 by Georgije Mitrofanovich.
