The Monastery of Venerable Prohor of Pčinja (Serbian: Манастир Преподобног Прохора Пчињског, romanized: Manastir Prepodobnog Prohora Pčinjskog), commonly known as Prohor Pčinjski (Serbian: Прохор Пчињски, romanized: Prohor Pčinjski) is an 11th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery in the deep south in Serbia, located in the village of Klenike, 30 km (19 mi) south of Vranje, near the border with North Macedonia.
[2] A major renovation of the monastery was undertaken in the early 14th century under King Milutin of Serbia when the frescoes were painted.
[citation needed] In the following years, the monastery was run by priests and prominent citizens of the nearby town of Vranje.
In the middle of the 19th century, new monastery buildings were built, in 1870 the famous icon painter Dičo Zograf reworked some of the murals in the church, and in 1899 it was expanded and painted.
