Built at a crossroads of civilisations, Serbia was a place where the cultures of the East and the West met and permeated each other throughout the Middle Ages. When Serbian architecture and sculpture experienced an influx of Romanesque influences from Southern Italy and the Adriatic coast, they merged seamlessly with the existing Byzantine influences and created a unique style, which you can experience by observing Serbian monasteries built in the famous Raška style, which reached its peak in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Thanks to Serbia, the world of sports is all the richer – many top, internationally renowned players of basketball, water pollo, handball and tennis hail from Serbia.
