On Fruška gora, in the quiet valley along the stream Remeta, near the village Šišatovac there is a female monastery Petkovica with the church of St. Petka. This monastery was built by Jelena Štiljanović, a widow of the Serbian lord Stefan Štiljanović. In the past, the monastery had been destroyed several times, and during World War Two, the iconostasis fell, so during the 1950's the renovation began. The church largely retained its original appearance and was built with a small disproportion, which gives a special charm to this building. Everything that can be seen from this place once belonged to the monastery. A rustic stone well, the source of pure drinking water and the pond in the valley contribute to the overall beautiful sight.
