Patriarchate of Peć Monastery

The Patriarchate of Peć Monastery made the strongest effect of all the Medieval Monuments in Kosovo. One of the primary attractions of Peja, a city in western Kosovo near the Montenegrin border, is this magnificent monastery. This is the second most most beautiful historical sites in Kosovo.

It's a bit of a walk around the walled monastery to really enter after passing the security checkpoint by the road. However, it is well worth the trip once you enter the verdant garden. It provides the type of tranquility you'd expect from a monastery, surrounded by vegetation and away from city sounds. There are four churches inside the gardens, three of which are essentially connected, which is notable in and of itself.

The Patriarchate of Peć Monastery, also known as the Peć Patriarchal Monastery, is a medieval Serbian Orthodox monastery near Peć, Kosovo. It was built in the 13th century and is now the home of Serbian Archbishops. During the 14th century, it was extended, and when the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć was established in 1346, the Monastery became the seat of Serbian Patriarchs. The monastery complex comprises numerous churches, and it was also used as the mausoleum of Serbian archbishops and patriarchs during the medieval and early modern periods. It has been a component of the "Medieval Structures in Kosovo" World Heritage Site since 2006, together with three other Serbian Orthodox Church monuments.
