The medieval hospital in the monastery of Mažići, today an archaeological site, is one of the oldest hospitals from the golden age of Serbian medieval medicine, when the first hospitals were founded in monasteries, Hilandar in 1191 and Studenica in 1208, thanks to Rastko Nemanjić – St. Sava. The hospital was founded in the second half of the 12th century in the port of the monastery of St. George in the village of Mažići, for which the monastery is better known, on the left bank of the Lim River, today in the municipality of Priboj, in the Republic of Serbia.

The archaeological site of the former hospital in the port of the monastery of Mažići, which is mentioned in old records as well as the village of the same name under the name of Orahovica, is located in a picturesque valley, a few hundred meters from Lake Potpec and is surrounded by hills over 1000 meters high, on the left bank of the Lim River.

It is located 14 kilometers southeast of Priboj and can be reached from two directions: by boat over Potpec Lake, or through the dam of Potpec Lake and the village of Kalafati.

More than 180 graves have been excavated in the immediate vicinity of the monastery church, and there are about 2000 skeletons in the vicinity of the archaeological complex itself. This discovery is unusual, given that only monks were buried in the monastic cemeteries. This fact indirectly indicates the existence of a monastery hospital, which buried deceased patients in these graves after unsuccessful treatment.
