Dating back to the 14th century, this is the best-preserved Serbian monastery that represents an exceptional synthesis of Byzantine and Western medieval styles.

Located near the ancient town of Peć in the southern region of Kosovo, monastery Dečani was built in 1327AD by Serbian King Stefan Uroš III [1285-1331]. While the imposing, domed stone exterior is impressive, the interior is just breathtaking. Interior walls of the Monastery, from floor to its highest parts of the domed ceiling, are covered by exquisite and colorful frescoes and iconography, depicting biblical scenes, saints, and canonized members of the then ruling Serbian royal dynasty. Current Abbott, Father Sava, our gracious host and guide, informed us that the several thousand scenes and individual figures were painted by numerous iconographers and only completed in 1348. Later, the height of the monastery’s dome, especially when viewed from the central interior, earned it the adjective “Visoki” [high] – Visoki Dečani. Over the years, Visoki Dečani also collected an exceptionally valuable treasury of icons, ornamented liturgical artifacts, manuscripts, and furniture decorated with wood inlays. While Visoki Dečani is nearly seven centuries old, the monks’ quarters ["konaks"] and other auxiliary buildings that surround it, date to various periods – some are quite modern and comfortable for current visitors. Visitors are welcomed warmly and we felt even more welcome as some of the monks, including Abbott Father Sava, speak very passable English. For this visitor, it was exciting, stimulating, and moving to see and enjoy this place of living history .

We walked through the market and simply turned up at the museum, the guide introduced himself as we walked up to the door and just started a tour! I think he will just show people around as/when they turn up. Anyway it was very interesting to be shown around and have an explanation of life as it was. The enthusiasm was much appreciated and the cost is free if you wish but donations are appreciated.

A bit off the center of Pristina, but well worth a taxi trip! We paid total 5e/one way trip. You can get taxi very easily when you come back to city, there is always someone coming with a taxi. We didn't have to wait eve 5 minutes. Nice shops and restaurants! I'm vegetarian and did not go hungry :) We also visited Viva Fresh Market next to Albi mall. If you are not in a hurry I think it is worth going! It's a big grocery shop with some clothes and other stuff :)

At the entrance to the site off the main road is a barrier and a small guard hut. You could park off road here and walk 0.6km. Or ask the guards to let you drive to the large parking lot but they'll only do this by retaking a personal document like passport or driving licence. We drove in. The site itself is quite large with attractive gardens and some walls of ruined buildings and the church, well three churches combined as a single building . It isn't too impressive from the outside ,unlike say Sopocani, but inside it is absolutely amazing. The narthex, with its large pillars with centuries old frescoes covering every surface, the pillars, walls, ceiling is absolutely stunning. This area is an entrance hall through which you have access to the differently styled, as they were built at different times, three churches. One, the original Church of the Holy Apostles, to which the others were later added ,with its heavy brickwork and darker interior and brilliant ceilings. And the others, similarly stunning but in different ways all add up to a completely amazing collection.

A few miles outside of Pristina is a World Heritage site that is worth visiting. The Gracanica monastery is located in a Serbian enclave just four miles from Pristina. Beautifully preserved, the monastery can be reached by taxi quite cheaply. The church is filled with well-preserved frescos from the 14th and 16th Centuries.

Whilst in Prizren, I highly recommend you visit the Albanian League of Prizren and learn about the Albanian history over the years. Also there some incredible paintings and sculptures. Very well kept place and the staff - guide is brilliant too.
