The Zlatibor District (Serbian: Златиборски округ / Zlatiborski okrug, pronounced[zlǎtiboːrskiːôkruːɡ]) is one of eight administrative districts of Šumadija and Western Serbia. It is located in the western, mountainous part of Serbia. The district was named after the mountain region of Zlatibor.
In the vicinity of Bajina Bašta stands the Rača monastery, built in the 13th century. Over its history, this monastery was destroyed several times and then reconstructed. Rača Monastery's final destruction (after the Turks and the Austro-Hungarian Army), came at the hands of Bulgarian forces in 1943. It was renovated and restored after the end of World War II. The church was an important center of transcription and illumination of Serbia's manuscripts, with its monks known as the Račani, during the 17th century.
This monastery was the second most important in Serbia, after it received the bones of Serbia's most-revered patriarch, Saint Sava, in 1236. The monastery has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, though 100 compositions, frescoes of individual figures, and fragments of important religious icons have been preserved. The most famous icon of Mileševa is The White Angelfresco, a famous, widely used religious icon throughout Serbia.[citation needed]
