Tips

  • The Ljeviška Cathedral of Our Lady is the only preserved medieval Serbian city cathedral. The cathedral is the seat of the Raszien-Prizren eparchy. It was built around 1306 and contains well-preserved wall paintings. During the riots in March 2004, she too was the target of rioters' attacks. Some of their most important frescoes were destroyed in the process. However, unlike other Serbian Orthodox churches in Prizren, the fire did not affect the entire building. In 2006 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and, due to the difficult security situation in Kosovo, on the Red List of World Heritage in Danger. Many other monasteries can be found in the city. These include the 14th-century Archangel Monastery that was burned down during the March 2004 riots.
