Nebeske Stolice, one of Kopaonik’s most remarkable landmarks, hold a special place in the mountain’s history and tradition.
Every year on 21 July, visitors, locals, and pilgrims gather at this unique site, 1,800 metres above sea level, to celebrate Saint Prokopije, the patron saint of miners. Surrounded by breathtaking views and centuries of history, the location is home to the remains of an early Christian basilica dating back to the 5th or 6th century, making it the highest archaeological site of its kind in Serbia.
It is said that when renowned traveller and geographer Felix Kanitz was brought to this spot, locals told him: “From here, you can see the whole world.” Standing at Nebeske Stolice today, it is easy to understand why.

Nebeske Stolice, jedno od najznačajnijih mesta na Kopaoniku, zauzima posebno mesto u istoriji i tradiciji ove planine.
Svake godine, 21. jula, posetioci, meštani i hodočasnici okupljaju se na ovom jedinstvenom lokalitetu, na 1.800 metara nadmorske visine, kako bi obeležili praznik Svetog Prokopija, zaštitnika rudara. Okruženo veličanstvenim pejzažima i bogatom istorijom, ovo mesto čuva ostatke ranohrišćanske bazilike iz V ili VI veka, što ga čini najvišim arheološkim nalazištem te vrste u Srbiji.
Predanje kaže da su meštani, kada je čuveni putopisac i geograf Feliks Kanic posetio ovo mesto, rekli: „Odavde se vidi ceo svet.“
Ovo jedinstveno mesto spaja prirodne lepote, duhovno nasleđe i istoriju Kopaonika, pružajući posetiocima nezaboravan doživljaj i pogled koji se pamti zauvek.
