Црква Светог Илије у селу Имљани

The log cabin church in the village of Imljani (temple dedicated to Saint Elijah) is located on the slopes of Mount Vašić at an altitude of 1148 m. Located on a hill in the hamlet of Makarići and surrounded by a dense coniferous forest.
The exact time of the church's construction has not been reliably determined, and legends about its origin are associated with this church.
The first legend says that she was in the valley of the Ugar River and that she moved to this place overnight. It is mentioned that this relocation took place in 1760.
Another legend is related to a child who, when he grew up and became a vizier in the Turkish government, as a sign of gratitude to his native land, approved its construction on the condition that it should not be seen from afar, that it should be in the forest.
In the altar is kept a staff which is believed to have belonged to Saint Elijah and there are also various legends about it.
