The Raška District (Serbian: Рашки округ / Raški okrug, pronounced [râʃkiː ôkruːɡ]) is one of eight administrative districts of Šumadija and Western Serbia.

Athos, his older son Stefan, later named the "First-Crowned", took his place as the caretaker of the monastery.

In the vicinity of Novi Pazar stands the Sopoćani monastery, built around 1260 as the endowment of King Stefan Uroš I, the son of King Stefan the First-Crowned.

The primary and major value of the Sopoćani monastery are its frescoes, by which it ranks among the best examples of European medieval painting.
