The monastery it self is located in a wonderful natural ambience, where peace and tranquility are disrupted only by the buzz of the insects and the sounds of the bells
from the two monastery churches.

No one knows the exact time of construction of the older church, St. Jovan Forerunner, and the establishment of the monastery. But, it is believed that the church
was built by the Macedonian Tsar Samuil in 1010-1011, just few years before the battle between his soldiers and the army of the Byzantine Tsar Vasilij II, ended with the
tragic blinding of Macedonian soldiers. After the battle, the blinded army, stayed for a while at the surrounding area of the church St. Jovan Forerunner to get some rest.
From then on that area is called Slepce (slep=blind).

The two wooden doors are of special value, made in shallow wood-carving technique, ornamented with different figures and enriched with metal decorations,
represented in a manner that is often encountered in manuscripts from the 15th-16th century
