Church of St. Nicetas, Banjane

Church of Saint Nicetas in Banjane (Macedonian and Serbian Cyrillic: Свети Никита) is a medieval Eastern Orthodox church in the village of Banjane, midway between this and the villages of Čučer-Sandevo and Gornjane (thus it is also often referred to as Saint Nicetas in Čučer).

The monastery and church, dedicated to Saint Nicetas, was built by the Serbian king Milutin ca.

[1] Saint Nicetas has a simple cross-in-square base with a central dome standing on pendentives and four columns.

The frescoes are well preserved and all date from around 1324, except those in the dome which are from 19th century, done by the well-known Dimitar "Dičo Zograf" Krstević.

In the middle section we see Christ's miracles while in the upper parts of the church are representations of Passion.
