About

Park Maketa is a miniature theme park with models of famous Serbian monasteries and churches, located in Despotovac. This region is well known for having many monasteries, like Manasija, which is only a few miles away. A miniature Manasija is found there, in addition to models of Hilandar, Studenica, Mileševa, Gračanica, and many others. All miniature buildings are built in a 1:17 scale, with a short history and description. The creator says it takes him around two months to build one model.
