Hidden in the valley of Bistrica river, in once historically and architecturally important urban and religious site, lay the leftovers of the Monastery of Holy Archangels. It is part of a greater historical complex of the old town/fortress called Prizrenac. The Monastery itself was founded by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan between 1343 and 1352 on the site of an earlier church. It later became his burial church. It was not only until early twenties of the 20th century that its remains were found and later on explored. In 1999 and 2004 it has been the object of devastatation and attacks, while today it is under reconstruction and renovation. If you're interested in history, religion and architecture, then this is the hidden gem that you definitely need to explore. All recommendations!

Due to the security reasons, the Bogorodica Ljeviška Monastery (Our Lady of Ljeviš) is locked and closed. If you would like to visit it personally or in a group, you need to announce your visit in advance, since the Monastery has a security clearance procedure, that needs to be fulfilled. If you manage to visit its interiors, you will not be disapointed, especially if you're into history and medieval architecture, art and religion. Although the Monastery has severely been damaged in 2004, a detailed restoration of frescoes which has been partially done since then will allow you to enjoy its beauty and its history. The Monastery is considered to be one of the most important historical and architectural sites in Prizren and should not be missed if you're visiting this beautiful amazing city. Once again, make sure to plan your visit to this UNESCO-protected site, since it's usually closed for visitors.
