The Lazar's Town, with the remnants of the medieval fortification and the Lazarica Church has an epic quality in the Serbian tradition. The Lazarica Church, built in 1376 on the occasion of Stephan's son birth, and dedicated to St. Stephen, is the model of the Moravska School. A Donjon Tower, the military fortification of the medieval castle, bears witness of the great cultural and historic heritage of the Serb people. The Monastery of Ljubostinja was founded by Princess Milica, Lazar's wife, in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century, after the Battle of Kosovo, when she made a decision on her withdrawal as a ruler, and on assemblying the widows of the Serbian gentry killed at the Kosovo. From its first days the Ljubostinja plaid an important part in culture.

Distinguished chroniclers, engrossers, book design masters, and painters were asked to come here. The Church was ruined during the Turkish invasion back in 1375 and was scarred again around 1413m to remain neglected until the reign of Prince Milosh Obrenovich in the nineteenth century, when it was restored. As with so many buildings from antiquity, each part of the architecture tells a story about its history. Lazarica as a whole is important because it breaks with the previous tradition of Nemanjich church architecture.
