About some problems of division into periods of Serbian medieval architecture. A term is Moravian school

Abstract

The article reviews the history of research on the last period of Serbian medieval architecture usually referred to as “Morava school”. The author analyzes different concepts put forward by researchers in the past and sorts out the most important problems which remain unresolved up to date. These include the general classification of Serbian medieval architecture, definition of the main tendencies and logic in its development, distinguishing the main traits of its regional features in the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as finding out the character and measure of its involvement in the general evolution in Byzantine Paleologan architecture.
