==Architecture==
The Virgin's Church is a domed single-nave basilica. At its eastern end there is a three-sided apse, while a [[narthex]] faces west. There are also vestibules on the north and the south. In the 1235, a large [[exonarthex]] was added, though in much poorer workmanship and stone quality. The main facades were built with slabs of locally queried white marble. Externally, the Church harmoniously reconciles two architectural styles, the [[Romanesque]] and the [[Byzantine]]. The blending of these two styles eventually produced a particular style of architecture known as the [[Raska]] School.<ref>Mihailo Maletic, Studenica, (Belgrade, Knjizevne Novine, 1968) ASIN: B000XXPKIQ</ref>
