In a few sentences

In brief

Fortresses, churches and monasteries show more than one public function.

Useful to know

Near Stari Ras, the first capital of Serbia, UNESCO united medieval fortresses, churches and monasteries. Sopoćani is referred to as a testimony of contacts between the Western and Byzantine worlds. [1]

Before you compare details, specify which monument they belong to. The name of the common site does not mean one building or one construction stage. On a map, trace the location of the individual parts, and then compare their functions. A historical relationship can bring together different architectural solutions without reducing them to one style or one plan.
