The Eparchy of Žiča takes its name from the Žiča Monastery, the endowment of Stefan the First-Crowned. In 1219 Žiča became the first seat of the independent Serbian Archbishopric, founded by Saint Sava, and the coronation church of the Serbian kings.
The seat of the eparchy is in Kraljevo. In its territory are also the Studenica Monastery and the monasteries of the Ovčar-Kablar Gorge.
