The Project of Urgent Protection of Cultural and
Natural Heritage in Metohija is a result of joint efforts of
Yugoslav and Italian experts to draw the attention of local
and international community to the alarming condition of
heritage in Kosovo and Metohija, and to provide conditions
for protection, preservation and revitalization of destroyed,
damaged and endangered cultural and natural property in
this part of Europe, which would be in accordance with the
international conventions and standards.
The Objective of the Project is assessment of
condition of cultural and natural property, recognition of
perceptible modes of degradation, damage and destruction,
as well as the consequences of inefficacy of conservation
service, definition of recommended measures of urgent and
long-term protection, and, in accordance with this,
consideration of the opportunities to carry out proposed
actions and improve the condition of the property. Working
out of priority list and draft projects dealing with protection,
preservation and revitalization of priority cultural and
natural values is also the objective of the Project.
Field research of the team of experts composed of
architects, art historians, paintings conservators,
ethnologists, experts in the field of conservation of natural
resources and photographers, gave the insight into condition
of 127 categorized, protected and recognized cultural
monuments of Orthodox Christian and Islamic sacral
architecture, vernacular architecture, as well as accessible
natural property in Metochian municipalities of De~ani,
\akovica, Istok, Klina, Mališevo, Orahovac, Pe}, Prizren,
Srbica, Suva Reka, Štrpce and Uroševac. During field
research in the municipality of Uroševac, Mnemosyne
Centre expert team entered the territory of Kosovo.
(Note: The term Kosovo is used in the geographical sense,
designating the eastern part of Kosovo and Metohija basin,
and not as a name for the part of the territory of the Republic
of Serbia under the United Nations civil and military interim
administration).
Of the total number of surveyed monuments, 87 has
been preserved: 29 belonging to the first category, 24 to the
third, and 34 belonging to the category of recognized
heritage. Among 40 destroyed or devastated monuments, 13
belong to the cultural heritage of the first category – these
are the churches from the 13th century or the period between
the 14th and 16th centuries, 17 to the third, and 10 to the
category of recognized heritage. All the devastated
monuments of Christian origin were damaged or, more often
destroyed, after the arrival of United Nations civil and
military forces to Kosovo and Metohija in June 1999.
The Project was realized by coordinated work of
Yugoslav experts from seven conservation institutions from
the territory of the Republic of Serbia: Institute for the

Radom na terenu stru~ne ekipe sastavqene
od arhitekata, istori~ara umetnosti, slikara-
konzervatora, etnologa, stru~waka u oblasti
za{tite prirode i fotografa, napravile su uvid
u stawe 127 kategorisanih, za{ti}enih i
evidentiranih kulturnih dobara pravoslavno-
hri{}anske i islamske sakralne arhitekture,
narodnog graditeqstva, kao i dostupnih prirodnih
dobara u metohijskim op{tinama De~ani,
\akovica, Istok, Klina, Mali{evo, Orahovac,
Pe}, Prizren, Srbica, Suva Reka, [trpce i
Uro{evac. Radom na terenu op{tine Uro{evac,
stru~ne ekipe Centra MNEMOSYNE u{le su i na
podru~je Kosova.
(Napomena: termin Kosovo se koristi u
geografskom smislu, kao isto~ni deo kosovsko-
metohijskog basena, a ne kao naziv za deo
teritorije Republike Srbije pod privremenom
upravom civilnih i vojnih snaga UN).
Od ukupnog broja obra|enih kulturnih
dobara, 87 je sa~uvanih, i to - 29 u prvoj
kategoriji, 24 u tre}oj i 34 evidentirana.
Poru{enih i devastiranih je 40 - od toga je 13
spomeni~ko nasle|e prve kategorije, {to zna~i
crkvene gra|evine iz perioda XIII, XIV-XVI veka,
17 tre}e kategorije i 10 evidentiranih kulturnih

UVOD
The team of experts lead by Ilija Proti}:
Dejan Radovanovi}, Miroslav Zaki}, Milosav Luki}, Toni
^erškov.
In July 2001, the team was engaged in the field research of
the monuments in the municipalities of Klina and Mališevo.
The team of experts lead by Dejan Radovanovi}:
Mirjana \eki}, MA, Zlata Jari}, Ilija Proti}, Milosav Zaki},
Aljoša Ivan~ev, Toni ^erškov.
In July and October 2001, the team was engaged in the field
research of the monuments in the municipalities of
Orahovac, Prizren (including Sreda~ka @upa), Suva Reka,
Štrpce (partly), and Uroševac.
The team of experts lead by Donka Stan~i}:
Lidija Amid`i}, PhD, Bo`idar Krstanovi}, Grozdana
Mikitišin, @eljko Vukeli}.
In October 2001, the team was engaged in the field research
of the monuments in Orahovac and Sirini}ka @upa (the
municipality of Štrpce).
The text of the chapter dealing with the natural
property was adopted from the report of Lidija Amid`i},
PhD and Zlata Jari} by Vojislav Vasi}, PhD.
The organization of the field research was entrusted
to Mirjana Menkovi} and Branko V. Joki}, representatives of
the MNEMOSYNE Centre.
Italian experts worked on their part of the project
during 2001 and in the first half of 2002 - by the end of June.
In the Urgent Protection Project, MNEMOSYNE
Centre offered a feasible operative plan of field research.
Yugoslav experts, working under military protection, made
the survey of Christian heritage, while the Italians
researched monuments of Islamic architecture. The work of
all the experts engaged in the project was based on
elaborated methodology and precisely defined pre-set
criteria for information gathering and their processing.
The part of the Report on the condition of the monuments
and objects done by the Italian experts was presented in
tabular form and incorporated in the Conclusion.
Field research was accompanied by certain
obstacles resulting from movement restrictions and
problems concerning the safety of Yugoslav experts.
Condition assessment of the protected natural areas under
the first degree of protection could not be carried out since
the researchers didn’t get adequate military protection. All
the assessments are the result of brief expertise and short
visits to the accessible protected objects, or the analysis of
the existing and recently obtained photo-documentation.
Since the custodians of the protected property are subject to
movement restriction (which is particularly the case when
natural property is concerned), it has often been difficult to
get the right and accurate information.
The List of natural heritage encompassed by this
Report was based on the official lists of the Institute for
Protection of Nature of Serbia in Belgrade. All the

Odeqak o za{ti}enim prirodnim dobrima
obradio je dr Vojislav Vasi} na osnovu izve{taja
dr Lidije Amiyi} i Zlate Jari}.
Realizaciju projekta na terenu
obezbe|ivali su predstavnici Centra
MNEMOSYNE Mirjana Menkovi} i Branko V.
Joki}.
Italijanski stru~waci su svoj deo posla
obavili tokom 2001. i do kraja juna 2002. godine.
Projektom Urgentne za{tite Centar
MNEMOSYNE je ponudio realan operativni
plan delovawa na terenu. Jugoslovenski stru~-
waci su pod za{titom vojnih snaga napravili uvid
u hri{}ansko nasle|e, a italijanski u islamsku
arhitektonsku ba{tinu. Rad svih anga`ovanih
stru~waka bio je baziran na razra|enoj me-
todologiji i na unapred utvr|enim kriterijumima
prikupqawa i obrade podataka.
Deo Izve{taja o stawu spomenika i
objekata koji su izradili italijanski stru~waci
dat je u vidu tabela i kao takav inkorporiran u
Zavr{na razmatrawa.
Tokom rada stru~nih ekipa na terenu, a
kao posledica zabrane kretawa i izuzetno te{kih
bezbedonosnih uslova za jugoslovenske stru~wake,
pojavila su se i odre|ena ograni~ewa. Procena
stawa za{ti}enih prirodnih podru~ja prvog
stepena za{tite nije vr{ena, jer terenska ekipa
nije dobila adekvatnu za{titu od strane
nadle`nih snaga reda. Sve procene su obavqene
na osnovu kratkog ekspertskog uvida i brzih
poseta pristupa~nim za{ti}enim objektima,
odnosno uvidom u postoje}u i novo pribavqenu
foto-dokumentaciju. ^esto se do sigurnih i
preciznih podataka nije moglo do}i, jer i

documentation used in research belongs to this institution.
Special attention was paid to the protected environment of
two exquisite monuments, the monasteries of the
Patriarchate of Pe} and De~ani, as well as to the national
parks of Šara and Prokletije.
The List of cultural property encompassed by this
Report was based on two official documents of the Republic
of Serbia:
• Registered Immovable Cultural Property, current as
of 31 December 1994, Republic of Serbia,
Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, Bulletin
372, Belgrade 1995, and
• Monuments of Kosovo and Metohija, Institute for
the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Serbia,
Belgrade 2002.
The list includes all the monuments from the first
category, a selection from the third (made after the existing
documentation), and accessible property categorized as
recognized heritage. The expert teams couldn’t inspect two
monuments of the first category: the church of St Nicholas,
16th century, in Si}evo, the municipality of Klina, and the
church of St George, 16th century, in Sredska, municipality
of Prizren. Since the church of St Nicholas was on the
private property, we have good reason to believe that it was
demolished in such an extent that its remains couldn’t be
detected in the landscape. The access to the church of St
George in Sredska, which has, however, been preserved, was
forbidden because some unexploded mines might be left
over at the site. The fear of unexploded mines was the reason
why the expert team didn’t get the permission to inspect
thoroughly the interior of the chapels in the church of the
Holy Virgin of Ljeviška in Prizren, one of the most
significant medieval Christian monuments in Kosovo and
Metohija.

the arrival of the UN mission in Kosovo and Metohija),
Mnemosyne Centre experts used for repeated visits to the
monuments in order to improve the Project to a maximum
degree. It is particularly true when Velika Ho~a is concerned:
Mnemosyne Centre experts registered eight objects of
vernacular architecture. For these newly recognized objects,
integral projects of the present condition were made. These
projects are in accordance with the actual legislation of the
Republic of Serbia.
This publication and technical and photo-
documentation including 3500 photographs and over 1500
slides are not the only results of the Project of Urgent
Protection of Heritage in Metohija. Four actual draft projects
for three monuments and one for an area of ambient, cultural
and historical interest, Velika Ho~a, should also be
mentioned.
This publication is accompanied by a CD-ROM,
made owing to financial support of the Coordination Centre
of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Republic of Serbia
for Kosovo and Metohija. Along with the report, CD-ROM
includes numerous photographs, and, which is to our opinion
extremely important, a brief catalogue of all the movable
cultural property from the destroyed churches throughout
Metohija that the experts of Mnemosyne Centre found stored
in the Patriarchate of Pe} and the chapel of St Tryphon in
Velika Ho~a. Scattered and devastated cultural heritage was
gathered by monks and priests of the Diocese of Raška and
Prizren and the Metropolitanate of Montengro and the
Littoral during 1999 an 2000. Mnemosyne expert teams also
protected, as much as possible, some of the icons and
iconostases that had been left over. All other movable
property found in the preserved churches in Velika Ho~a,
Orahovac, Prizren, Sreda~ka and Sirini}ka @upa was for the
most part registered and catalogued. In order to secure the
best possible and professional protection of the heritage,

UVOD
Mnemosyne Centre would proceed, in the course of 2003,
with cataloguing of the material and publishing of special
publications in the extent it is possible to work out.
The release of the Report was preceded by a
presentation of a part of the Project and lectures given in
Belgrade, Novi Sad, Podgorica and Kruševac, organized by
Mnemosyne Centre in the period between February and June
2002. Mnemosyne Centre also presented its work on a web
site www. mnemosyne.org.yu
In the period preceding the release of the
publication, representatives of the Mnemosyne Centre on
several occasions had the opportunity to point to the pressing
issue of the cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohija at the
international conferences and seminars.
We will mention only the most important of them:
Conference on Cultural Heritage and Education in the
Southeastern Europe, Tokyo 2001; Cultural Heritage of
Kosovo and Metohija, High School of Pisa, Pisa 2001;
Conference of the European Regions, Timisoara 2001;
General Assembly of EUROPA NOSTRA, with a special
section dealing with the activities of NGO in the
Southeastern Europe, Dubrovnik 2002.
Mnemosyne Centre presented its work to several
international organizations relevant in the field of heritage
protection, made some important contacts and initiated some
of the most important donations to the cultural institutions
and for protection of heritage in the territory of the Republic
of Serbia realized in the preceding period.
* * *
Brief condition assessment of natural and cultural property
of Metohija, though accompanied by restrictions, clearly
showed the following characteristics of the state of
protection of natural and cultural values:
• Numerous natural and cultural monuments, which
epitomize the highest values of the European and
national heritage, can be found on the territory of
Metohija.
• With a few exceptions, managers and custodians of
recognized and protected natural and cultural
property are obstructed in doing their job. For the
most part of the objects, subjects of protection are
suspended by the introduction of public
management, i.e. no protection is provided. Even
in cases where the Serbian Orthodox Church, acts
as a curator, contacts with the institutions in charge
are so reduced that the effects of curatorship are
negligible.
• In addition to the above-mentioned problems,
recommended regimes of protection are not being
carried out, measures of protection are not put into

Centar MNEMOSYNE do pojave
Izve{taja, tokom februara-juna 2002. godine,
organizovao je i prezentaciju dela Projekta i
stru~na predavawa u Beogradu, Novom Sadu,
Podgorici i Kru{evcu i postavio web site –
www. mnemosyne.org.yu
Predstavnici Centra MNEMOSYNE su
tako|e u periodu do izlaska ove publikacije u
vi{e navrata bili u prilici da na me|unarodnim
konferencijama i seminarima sa temom za{tite i
edukacije u Jugoisto~noj Evropi, otvore i
pokrenu goru}e pitawe kulturnog nasle|a na
prostoru Kosova i Metohije.
Pomiwemo najva`nije: Konferencija o
kulturnom nasle|u i edukaciji u Jugoisto~noj
Evropi, Tokio 2001, Kulturno nasle|e Kosova i
Metohije, Visoka {kola u Pizi, Piza 2001,
Konferencija evropskih regiona, Temi{var 2001,
Redovna Skup{tina EUROPA NOSTRA-e, sa
posebenim delom posve}enim radu NVO na
prostoru Jugoisto~ne Evrope, Dubrovnik 2002.
Centar MNEMOSYNE je sa svojim radom
upoznao i relevantne me|unarodne organizacije za
za{titu nasle|a, ostvario zna~ajne kontakte i u
proteklom periodu bio inicijator nekih od
najzna~ajnijih donacija za ustanove kulture i
za{titu nasle|a na podru~ju Republike Srbije.
* * *
Brza procena stawa prirodnih i
kulturnih vrednosti Metohije, iako izvedena uz
ograni~ewa, jasno je pokazala slede}e op{te
odlike stawa za{tite prirodnih i kulturnih
vrednosti:
• Na teritoriji Metohije nalazi se veliki
broj prirodnih i kulturnih dobara koja
predstavqaju vrhunske vrednosti evropskog
i nacionalnog nasle|a.
• Upravqa~i i staraoci progla{enih i
za{ti}enih prirodnih i kulturnih dobara,
sem nekih izuzetaka, onemogu}eni su u
vr{ewu svoje funkcije. Za ve}inu
objekata subjekti za{tite su suspendovani
praksom javne uprave, odnosno, za{tita se
ne vr{i. I tamo gde je staralac Srpska
pravoslavna crkva, kontakti sa stru~nim
slu`bama su redukovani, tako da su efekti
starawa simboli~ni.
• Shodno prethodnom, propisani re`imi
za{tite se ne sprovode, mere za{tite se
ne primewuju, stru~ni i nadzorni
personalni kapaciteti su redukovani ili
poni{teni, nema planova za{tite, nema

effect, trained and supervisory personnel was
reduced or eliminated, there are no protection
plans, no control of the higher rank institutions (the
institutes, secretariats and ministries) is being
performed.
• The extent of destruction of cultural property is
unprecedented in modern European history.
• With the exception of a narrow zone around a few
orthodox christian sacral objects protected by the
KFOR units, cultural property is still being
vandalized; it has been carried on with the illegal
use of natural resources in protected objects.
• It is still very difficult or impossible to assess the
damages of natural property in a wider area.
• We would like to point out protection and
conservation of the remains of fresco decoration as
a very difficult and delicate problem. Remains of
fresco decoration, which need urgent protection,
can be found in the churches in Re~ani, \urakovac,
Mle~ane, Dobra Voda, Mušutište, Dolac, ^abici,
Popovljane and Gornje Nerodimlje.
• Protection of movable property, parts of
iconostases , icons, liturgical books and eucharistic
vessels is a very complicated problem when the
protection of cultural heritage in Kosovo and
Metohija is concerned.
• The same can be said of the objects of vernacular
architecture. On one hand the reconstruction of the
residential towers, kullas, has already begun, on the
other the monuments of vernacular architecture in
Serbian enclaves are left without any conservators’
supervision.
• Complexes of the old urban nuclei usually get
special treatment and are assigned special
significance for the culture in this part of Europe.

kontrole vi{ih institucija (zavoda,
sekretarijata, ministarstava).
• Stepen uni{tewa kulturnih dobara je
nezampa}en u novijoj evropskoj istoriji.
• Vandalizam nad kulturnim dobrima, kao i
bespravno kori{}ewe prirodnih resursa u
za{ti}enim objektima produ`ava se, osim
u uskoj zoni oko malobrojnih hri{}ansko-
pravoslavnih sakralnih objekata koje
obezbe|uju pripadnici KFOR-a.
• O{te}ewa na prirodnim dobrima jo{ uvek
je te{ko, ili nemogu}e procewivati na
{irem prostoru.
• Posebnu pa`wu skre}emo na za{titu i
konzervaciju ostataka `ivopisa, kao
izuzetno te`ak i osetqiv problem. U
ru{evinama crkava u Re~anima, \urakov-
cu, Mle~anima, Dobroj Vodi, Mu{uti{tu,
Dolcu, ^abi}ima, Popovqanima, Gorwem
Nerodimqu, postoje ostaci `ivopisa koje
je neophodno hitno za{titi.
• Za{tita pokretnog materijala – delova
ikonostasa, ikona, bogoslu`benih kwiga i
sasuda – predstavqa poseban problem u
za{titi kulturnog nasle|a na Kosovu i
Metohiji.
• Isto se odnosi i na objekte
tradicionalnog graditeqstva. Dok je
rekonstrukcija kula ve} otpo~ela,
zaostali primerci narodnog graditeqstva
u srpskim enklavama su bez ikakvog
konzervatorskog nadzora.
• Poseban tretman i zna~aj za kulturu ovog
dela evropskog tla imaju kompleksi sta-
rih gradskih jezgara. Me|utim, kompleks
Potkaqaje u Prizrenu u novonastalim
prilikama gubi svoj prepoznatqiv izgled.
• Usled te{ke bezbedonosne situacije
INTRODUCTION
UVOD
However, the fortress of Potkaljaja in Prizren is
losing its recognizable appearance.
• Due to difficult security situation, it is impossible to
monitor the changes of condition of natural and
cultural property, and to undertake adequate
measures in order to prevent negative processes or
to diminish the effects of deterioration.
• It is necessary to secure political conditions for the
reinstatement of public conservation service in its
entirety – by reconstruction of institutions, by
making the representatives of the authorities aware
of priority significance of protection, preservation
and revitalization of heritage, as well as by making
the atmosphere of tolerance among the population.
In entirely changed system of heritage protection in
Kosovo and Metohija after 1999, and drastically worsened
conditions of life of Serbian and non-Albanian population,
Mnemosyne Centre initiated and has been patiently and
persistently working on activation of all the mechanisms of
heritage protection in Kosovo and Metohija in accordance
with the international and state legislation. Suggested model
of cooperation and work based on professional principles
and international standards, provided conditions for the
realization of the Project of Urgent Protection of Heritage in
Metohija.
We believe that this paved the way to a programme
of long-term protection of heritage in Kosovo and Metohija
and contributed to subsistence of some of the highest values
of the European civilization and culture.

Management: National Park Prokletije, according to
legislatives, will be under the management by Public Firm
“National Park Prokletije”, which will be formed after the
forming of National Park, according to state and
international regulations and agreements, considering the
present state in the Province.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AREA
Area suggested for National Park is situated to the
south and southwest of Republic of Serbia, on the spot where
borders of Serbia, Montenegro and Albania meet. Most of
the area belongs to Metohija.
After the Alps in Europe, the Balkan massif is the wildest
and the least accessible. Only in the Metohijan part there are
over 70 peaks over 2000 m, and the dominating is the
volcano massif of \eravice (2665 m).
The large massif of Prokletije is situated on the fringe of
Mediterranean area as “individually the largest mountain
mass of Dinaride area” (Lazarevi} 1975). It is composed of
about 40 mountain units and with political borders divided
between Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and Albania.
Yugoslavian, that is, northwestern Prokletije are composed
of 24 mountain units with area of over 2000 km2 . In Serbia,
Prokletije represent the high southwestern natural corridor
that stretches 90 km from the three-country border to
Kosovska Mitrovica. It includes about 1000 km2 of
Metohijan, mostly high-mountain area.
Geological features: Complex and diverse geological build,

OSNOVNI PODACI O PODRU^JU
Prostor predlo`en za Nacionalni park
nalazi se na jugu i jugozapadu Republike Srbije,
na trome|i Srbije, Crne Gore i Albanije, a
najve}im delom na podru~ju Metohije. Posle Alpa
u Evropi, najnepristupa~niji i najdivqiji
planinski masiv Balkana. Samo na metohijskom
delu se uzdi`e preko 70 vrhova vi{ih od 2000 m,
me|u kojima dominira vulkanski masiv \eravice
(2665 m). Markantni masiv Prokletija nalazi se
na obodu mediteranske oblasti kao ″pojedina~no
najve}a planinska masa Dinarske oblasti″
(Lazarevi}, 1975). Sagra|en od oko 40 planinskih
celina, ovaj planinski sistem podeqen je
politi~kom granicom izme|u Jugoslavije (Srbije i
Crne Gore) i Albanije. Jugoslovenske, odnosno,
severozapadne Prokletije, sastoje se od 24
planinske grupe, koje se prostiru na povr{ini od
preko 2000 km2. U Srbiji Prokletije predstavqaju
wen visoki jugozapadni prirodni koridor, koji u
du`ini od 90 km od trome|e do Kosovske
Mitrovice zauzima oko 1000 km2 metohijske,
prete`no visokoplaninske oblasti.

Estimate of the present state
From 1999 there are no estimates, so the revision
of the proposition will be necessary. The general estimate
made with scarce and local data is this:
1. the service of protection of proclaimed natural
properties does not function;
2. there is no planned management of natural resources;
3. the illegal utilization of natural properties is not
discouraged;
4. there are indications on huge proportions of damage and
losses.

Ocena stawa
Od 1999. do danas ne postoji uvid u stawe,
tako da }e biti neophodna revizija predloga.
Ograni~enim uvidom informatora, proceweno je
da, generalno, na prostoru planiranog

1. ne funkcioni{e slu`ba za{tite progla{enih
prirodnih dobara;
2. ne postoji plansko gazdovawe prirodnim
resursima;
3. ne postoji suzbijawe bespravnog kori{}ewa

Predlog aktivnosti i mera
Zavod za za{titu prirode Srbije planira
da u najskorije vreme pokrene postupak za
progla{ewe Nacionalnog parka Prokletije, u
dogovoru sa nadle`nim saveznim i republi~kim

engaged international community on Kosovo and Metohija,
and with support from international expert institutions.
After the National park is founded, procedure will
be started to enlist the Park into the List of World Natural
Heritage (UNESCO) and into the List of Biosphere Reserves
(MAB).

protection and improvement of area, in accord to
protection regimes;
• legitimate bases for engaging the means of international
community on protection and development of the area
and improvement of settlements;
• scientific-expert programs and research, organization of
monitoring etc.
In the meantime, it is necessary to:
• carry out the conditions for rational management of total
natural resources, in accord with ecological potentials of
the area;
• prevent the illegal activities - logging, uncontrolled
killing of game, “wild building”, as well as all other
activities that drastically disturb the biological,
culturological and physically-geographical diversity of
the National Park;
• provide the adequate protection, reconstruction of
destroyed monuments and settlements, revitalization
and presentation of cultural-historical monuments and
traditional architectural heritage in the ambiental
surroundings;
• provide the conditions of physical security and
conditions for return of non-Albanian citizens,
supervisors and technical service of future National
Park;
• provide reconstruction;

improve the functions of National Park, as well as
improve the living conditions and activities of the
community;
• permanently regulate the problem of waste waters,
communal garbage and other potential organic and
inorganic pollutants;
• take the necessary measurements of protection from
weather conditions.

Boundaries:
• Temporary, made without the previous adequate
valorization of natural properties and zoning which
would be in sync with principles of conservation,
improving and development of the area, as well as the
principles of sustainable development;
• There is an Expert –Scientific study – suggestion of
permanent boundaries of National Park, that includes
assessing the area (85.000,00 ha) from the aspect of
physically-geographical and biological properties, as
well as the total cultural and historical heritage,
observed through conservation, functional organization
of space and its development in accord with Space Plan
of Republic of Serbia and numerous plan, program and
legal documents. Only the permanent boundaries
determine the space that includes the natural properties
fulfilling the criteria for inclusion in rank of Natural
Property of Extraordinary Importance.

NATURE CHARACTERISTICS
General characteristics: imposing mountain barrier of [ar-
planina, on the extreme south of Serbia alongside the
Macedonian border, is sharply determined by a low
Prizrensko-Metohijska, Kosovska and Polo{ka valley.
Main ridge (95 km) of this massif belongs to Scardo-Pindean
mountain system. High plain and lateral ridges are scarred
with numerous wild watercourses. Over 100 peaks are
higher than 2000 m, and 30 of them is over 2500 m. On the
Serbian side, dominating is the ridge of Bistra (2661 m). The
side ridges of O{ljak, Ostrovica and Kod`a Balkan are
connected to the main ridge. The very complex structure of

this Central-Balkan massif includes rocks of diverse age,
from Paleozoic granites to magmatic Quaternary rocks.
Geomorphologic characteristics: numerous cirques that on
highest parts of massifs were dug by massive glaciers during
the Ice Ages; huge rocks and boulders;
vertical rocks; harsh gorges and canyons with wild currents
of streams and rivers; glacial lakes known as “gorske o~i”
(“mountain eyes”).
Floristic characteristics: About 2000 plant species, about 56
% of Serbian flora. Numerous endemic and relict species of
Tertiary and glacial age. So far 332 endemic species were
recorded, among them 20 local endemics, present only in
Sara area. For example:
- King Alexander’s Yarrow (Achillea alexandri regis),
- Bornmullera (Bornmullera dieckii),
- [ar-planina Pink (Dianthus scardicus),
- [ar-planina Crocus (Crocus scardicus),
- [ara Mullein (Verbascum scardicolum),
- [ara Mouse-ear (Cerastium neoscardicum),
- Doerfler’s Cinquefoil (Potentilla doerfleri),
- [ara Hawkweed (Hieracium scardicolum) etc.
[ar-planina, together with Prokletijama, belongs to one of
six European centers of endemism and local endemism.
Vegetation characteristics: There are 112 associations in
various vegetation belts, from submediterranean in the river
valleys to the high-mountain belt of tundra-like vegetation
with the harsh periglacial climate. Especially interesting are:
- Communities of Serbian Ramonda (Ramonda serbica)
in chalkstone gorges,
- Communities of Greek Maple (Acer heldreichii) and
Beech (Fagus moesiaca),
- Communities of endemorelict Bosnian Pine (Pinus
heldreichii) and Macedonian Pine (Pinus peuce),
Glacier (moraine)

cultures in Kosovo and Metohija; the lore says they were
planted in the shape of cross as the monastery hospital was
built there) and 50-60 years; two specimens of Caucasus Fir
(Abies nordmaniana) in the port, among the first exotic trees
planted in Kosovo and Metohija, about eighty years ago;
Pastures, meadows and orchards

Damage: no damage from bombing was detected. There is
estimated pollution due to bombing of Prokletije. Chestnut
groves are, according to monks and staff, greatly destroyed
through illegal logging.
SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER PROTECTIVE
ACTIVITIES
Founding of a legal act on protection of National Park
Prokletije:
• the appropriate protection status will be determined for
the surroundings of the monastery, and this will not
exclude the obligation to additionally protect this area
by special legislatives on protection of Nature
Monument;
• increasing the boundaries - part of the gorge where
monks’ barracks are situated;
• the tourist object (where now the KFOR is placed) and
its surroundings;
• spring and protective zone for water industry, which
now supply the monastery with water, as well as
protective zones for spring of mineral water;
• maximal spreading of southeastern boundary of the
complex toward the De~ani settlement, in order to better
protect from possible illegal building along the road;
• determination of a broader protective zone for the
Monastery - divide area/gorge of De~anska Bistrica
river, with the special protection conditions (this is in
order to prevent the possible destruction of the gorge –
the regional system of water industry, and determine the
condition for reconstruction of existing road – variant
for highway leading from Pri{tina to Montenegro).
New measurements:
• urbanistic project on base of agreed Program for
Protection, development and management of protected
complex of De~ani Monastery;
• project of horticultural development of immediate
surroundings of monastery (port, approach,
surroundings outside the walls, river, wadi, spring)
• management of spring of mineral water;
• new study on capacity of spring and quality of mineral
water (monitoring the state and data sampling) and
determination of a necessary protective zone, as well as
possibility to bottle the water for use in monastery and
immediate surroundings;
• project of new sanitary catching of the well.

VELIKA HO^A
Legal status: Not protected.
District: Orahovac
Management status: administrative base of Local Office,
covering also a part of settlement Orahovac with Serbian
community, and under protection of German part of KFOR.
The approach is controlled 1 on spots from Orahovac and
from Mala Ho~a directions.
Location: an old Serbian village in Valley of Drim River,
within the Metohijsko-Prizrenska bowl-valley. It survived in
this spot since it was first mentioned at the end of XII
century – on the mild southern slopes of Milanovac Mt. (333
m), shielded from all sides with hills, at the bottom of source
part of Hocanska River.
NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
Main characteristics: favorable climate, insulated space,
favorable soil and numerous watercourses led to a very
quick and successful development of wine producing as a
main activity. Beside the Hilandar, vineyards were soon also
found by monasteries De~ani and Devi~, and later by
numerous merchants, aristocrats, rulers, and even the
Emperor Du{an. That way, the area of Velika Ho~a became
an example of sustainable use of natural values of modified
areas, throughout several centuries.
1 The village is approachable under protection of KFOR. When our
team was on the field, there was an organized bus line to Kosovska
Mitrovica (Belgrade) once a week, in both directions.

PRIRODNE ODLIKE
Op{te odlike: povoqna klima, suncu okrenut

Modified vegetation
Natural vegetation was preserved only in fragments as little

fields, orchards and gardens. In the village itself, there are
still numerous Walnut trees, as they have the optimal
developmental conditions.
Traditional utilization of natural resources
Former state
Middle age: Golden Ages: In vineyards, mostly native
varieties were grown, and later also varieties brought by
Ragusans and Italians. Both black and white grapes were
grown, and both red and white wine was made. Greatest
quantity included thick, red cellar wines, and the one with
the best quality was malvazija. Up to recent times,
autochthonous older sort grapes were grown: lalica and kec
(plovdina), tamnjanika, mirisaljka (hamburg), ke~un (white
sweet), vrap~etovo gro`|e (rizling), dren (elongated, white
and red, that was also dried), afusali.
Ottoman Invasion: Stagnation and decrease after 1455.
However, at the end of XVI century, the settlement
experiences an increase again. The exile of Serbs at the end
of XVIII century definitively marked the halt in
development.
XIX century and beginning of XX century:
Most of the vineyard belonged to the rich owners from
Prizren, who had their haciendas and bungalows in Ho~a.
Some of these are preserved to present day.
1945: After the agrarian reform, without any subsidy, 650 ha
of forests and 70 ha of private vineyards were confiscated,
and most of church land was also taken. According to the
data from old documents kept in parish, church used to own
600 ha of forest and 200 ha of infertile land before the war.

proizvodilo se crno i belo vino. Najvi{e su se
proizvodila gusta, crna podrimska vina, me|u
kojima je najkvalitetnije bilo malvazija. Do skora
se gajilo autohtono starije sortno gro`|e: lalica
i kec (plovdina), tamwanika, mirisaqka

pripadao je bogatim vlasnicima iz Prizrena, koji
su u Ho~i imali svoje ekonomije i letwe ku}e, od
kojih je i danas odre|en broj sa~uvan.

ZA[TI]ENA PRIRODNA DOBRA
Second part of XX century: Partial revival of the settlement.
Development of industry in Orahovac and starting the
section in Velika Ho~a proper led to better employment of
citizens even in other branches of industry.
Just before 1999: 300 households with 1500 person of
Serbian ethnicity and several Romani families. Part of this
population works in factory “18 novembar”, in liquor factory
“Orvin” in Orahovac and folk artifacts section “Moda”,
Veliko Gradi{te. Most of them were farmers, however.
Main activity
• Vineyard growing. private vineyards, 120 ha. Per 1 ha
10.000-12.000 stems. It is not necessary to cover them
with earth for preventing frost bite (as winters are
relatively mild). Most pronounced black grape varieties
were prokupac, vranac and game, and white grapes are
smederevka and rizling).
• Livestock breeding: additional activity – poultry, sheep,
swine, cattle and horses.
• Other additional activities: gardening, fruit and cereal
farming. Most pronounced cultures are wheat, maize,
walnut, apple, plum, pear, tomato, cabbage, onion, white
beans.
Other traditional natural resources:
• old stone quarry under the mountain Milanovac;
• place where roof tiles are found, on the boundary of
districts Velika Ho~a and Milanovi}.
Present state:
• agricultural, especially cereal-growing activities almost
died out because of security reasons;
• fruit and vegetables may be grown only in gardens just
around the houses;
• only few livestock remained, as it is impossible to take it
out to pastures due to continuous attacks by Albanian
terrorists, and livestock is also not imported;
• out of 120 ha of vineyards, in 2001 only 37 ha was
cultivated, in areas closest to village and guard spots of
KFOR. The other areas under grape vine were
impossible to cultivate in last three years, so the plants
died out, and the Albanians from surrounding villages
took out the stems and sticks that used to hold them.
Damage
Logging: the irregular supply of electricity and impossibility
to bring fire wood from surrounding private forests led to
increased cutting down of walnut trees within the village.
New Stone quarry: it was opened on the territory of
Orahovac district, just above the Velika Ho~a itself.

novembar”, u fabrici pi}a “Orvin” u Orahovcu i
“Moda”, Veliko Gradi{te. Najve}i deo je `iveo od
poqoprivrede.
Osnovna delatnost
• Vinogradarstvo: privatni vinogradi: 120 ha.
Na 1 ha 10.000-12.000 ~okota. Nije potrebno
zagrtawe (relativno blage zime). Najuspe{nije
crne sorte (prokupac, vranac i game), bele
sorte (smederevka i rizling).
• Sto~arstvo: uzgredna delatnost - pernata
`ivina, ovce, sviwe, krave i kowi.
• Ostale uzgredne delatnosti: ratarstvo,
vo}arstvo i povrtarstvo. Najvi{e su se gajili
p{enica, kukuruz, orah, jabuka, {qiva, kru{ka,
paradajz, kupus, luk, pasuq.
Ostali tradicionalni prirodni resursi:
• stari kamenolom ispod planine Milanovac;

objects and parts of settlement and space should enjoy the
special protection regimes. The announcement of protection
of Velika Ho~a will in this moment also depend on
agreement with present government, while large help may be

Proposition of measurements:
• protection of all made and specific natural properties -
preservation of authenticity of whole settlement in
urbanistic -architectonic and landscape way;
• preservation of remains of climatozonal vegetation and
authenticity of whole area;
• especial protection should be given to vineyard areas and
groves, vegetation of shores, existing walnut trees;
• it should be forbidden to change boundaries of parcels
and join several small into one large one, as it would
damage the landscape character of the area;
• creation of conditions necessary for development of
settlements and normal life of their inhabitants:
• physical protection and protection of inhabitants’
belongings, as well as insurance of normal and secure
working conditions on their households;
• revitalization and restarting the vineyards in all areas
where they used to exist but were destroyed after the
aggression;
• return of rights for belongings – the special mechanisms
of the state should ensure that all local people interested
in returning or remaining in the existing locality should
receive the land necessary for agriculture / vineyard
growing;
• political, financial, expert and other kinds of support
from the state and international community should
enable starting and improvement of local industry,
appropriate for climate and present resources, together
with ensuring the placement of product on local and
international market;
• direct industrial activities already have cadre and
resources, quickly yield positive socio-economic results
and are compatible with expected protection of
settlement and surroundings;
• restarting the organized activity of folk craft and art,
with the help of expert design team and ensuring the
certain placement of products;
• renewal of traditional wine industry, but according to the
internationally recognized standard, and reconstruction
of old private wine cellars (each of them may bring jobs
to 10-15 local inhabitants);
• procurement of new technology and redirecting of
industry in the sector “18. November” that could be

reconstruction of its original appearance. The refectory was
restored after that project.
The monastery complex is dominated by the church
of the Ascension of the Lord (Christ Pantokrator). It is a
five-aisled basilica, with shorter outer aisles, and a dome.
Each of five aisles has an apse at its east end. Those apses
vary in diameter. The western part of the church is occupied
by a three-bayed narthex separated from the nave. The
church was designed according to the needs of the Eastern
Orthodox rite, but its construction and approach to exterior
decoration belong to Western tradition. Its portals and
Romanesque and Gothic windows got lavish sculptural
decoration. Carved figural and floral motives can also be
found on many corbels supporting the frieze of blind arcades
under the eaves. Facades made of precisely cut and polished
stone are very significant feature of its exterior.
The katholikon of De~ani shows the richest and the
most representative sculptural decoration in Serbian
medieval art. In the same time, it houses the largest
assemblage of painted decorations in medieval Serbia,
almost completely preserved, consisting of more than 1000
figures and scenes organized in more than 20 cycles, making
thus the richest source for the study of Byzantine
iconography.

the archimandry,

Almost complete liturgical furnishings are
preserved, including the stone iconostasis with icons, the
original chandelier, thrones and tombs.
The monastery houses the richest treasury in
Serbia, storing about 60 icons painted between the 14th and
17th centuries, manuscripts and Eucharistic vessels, some of
which are contemporary to the foundation of the monastery.

begun as early as the 19th century, when many important
facts concerning history of this church centre were recorded,
and the inventories of Eucharistic vessels and other liturgical
objects were made. The monastery was comprised in all
surveys of Serbian medieval architecture and painting as
early as the beginning of the 20th century. Due to great
scientific significance of the monastery, the architecture and
mural decoration of its katholikon became subject of
thorough investigation very early, which resulted in one of
the most comprehensive monographs about a monument of
Serbian medieval art ever written. It was written by Vladimir
Petkovi} and \ur|e Bo{kovi}, and published in 1941. These
studies were followed by a series of papers dealing with
particular problems concerning the architecture and fresco
decoration of the katholikon or the conventual buildings.
Two major collections of papers were published: De~ani and
the Byzantine Art of the Mid-fourteenth Century, conference
proceedings, and the collection of essays Wall Painting of
the Monastery of De~ani: resources and studies. The book
The Treasury of De~ani by Mirjana [akota is one of the
major works dealing with objects of artistic interest in the
monastery.
Sanation and conservation work in De~ani were
undertaken very early and they had to go along with the
researches since the monastery had been deserted for a few
years before the liberation in 1918. Because of the poor
condition of the katholikon and dilapidation of the
monastery complex the Ministry of Building of the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia organized extensive sanation works in De~ani
in 1935. The project was accomplished in 1941. Major
interventions were done in the church, in whose lower zones,
vaults and arches, big cracks could be found, especially in
the middle and southern aisles of the narthex. The
foundations of the church were consolidated with armoured
concrete retaining structure, while the walls got cerclages
and bracing in the upper parts. The outer side of the walls
underwent considerable repairs.
Shortly after World War II, in 1949, the original
medieval refectory was destroyed in the fire. So-called
Prizren dormitory was pulled down in 1953 since it was
considerably destroyed in the fire of 1949. In 1952, when the
institutions for the protection of architectural and artistic
heritage had already been founded, architects Slobodan
Nenadovi} and Vera Toma{evi} were appointed to make
necessary repairs in the Dormitory of Prince Milo{, and to do
a series of interventions on the surface of the perimeter wall,
on the bridge over Bistrica, and in the area in front of the
fortified gate. On the same occasion minor repairs of the
katholikon’s walls were made and cracks in the vaults of its
narthex were stabilized once again.
Extensive sanation project was undertaken a few
years later and it was accomplished within the period

u XIX veku zabele`eni su mnogi podaci iz
istorije ovog crkvenog sredi{ta i popisani svi
va`niji liturgijski predmeti i sve{tene stvari.
Ve} po~etkom XX veka manastir je u{ao u sve
preglede stare srpske arhitekture i slikarstva.
Zbog velike nau~ne va`nosti rano su preduzeta
sveobuhvatna istra`ivawa arhitekture i
slikarstva sabornog hrama, okon~ana jednom od
najpotpunijih monografija o jednom na{em
graditeqskom i umetni~kom spomeniku sredweg
veka. Napisali su je Vladimir Petkovi} i \ur}e
Bo{kovi}, a izdata je 1941. godine. Posle wihovih
studija napisano je vi{e pojedina~nih rasprava o
nekim pitawima arhitekture i slikarstva
katolikona ili manastirskih zgrada, a izdate su i
dve kapitalne kwige u kojima su razmatrana ista
pitawa: zbornik radova sa nau~nog skupa De~ani
i vizantijska umetnost sredinom XIV veka, i,
tako|e zbornik radova, Zidno slikarstvo
manastira De~ana, gra|a i studije. Kwiga
De~anska riznica, Mirjane [akote isto tako je
kapitalno delo o umetni~kim vrednostima
manastira.
Uporedo sa prou~avawem manastira
De~ana, rano su preduzeti sanacioni i konzer-
vatorski radovi na wemu. To je bilo nu`no, jer su
De~ani nekoliko godina pre oslobo|ewa zemqe
1918. bili pusti. Zbog lo{eg stawa sabornog
hrama i zapu{tenosti celog manastira,
Ministarstvo gra|evina Kraqevine Jugoslavije
pokrenulo je opse`ne sanacione radove u
De~anima 1935. godine. Oni su trajali sve do
1941.godine. Glavni radovi obavqeni su na crkvi,
na kojoj su se videle mnoge jake pukotine pri tlu,
ali i na svodovima i lukovima. Najvi{e ih je bilo
u sredwem i ju`nom brodu priprate. Sprovedena je
tada konsolidacija gra|evine ugradwom oja~awa od
armiranog betona uz temeqe kao i serkla`a i
zatega ispod krovne konstrukcije, a sanirane su na
vi{e mesta znatne povr{ine spoqnog lica zida.
Ubrzo posle zavr{etka Drugog svetskog rata,
1949, izgorela je stara sredwovekovna trpezarija,
a 1953. poru{en je takozvani Prizrenski konak,
jer je bio veoma o{te}en usled po`ara na
obli`woj trpezariji. Godinu dana ranije, kada su
ve} postojale institucije za o~uvawe graditeqske
i umetni~ke ba{tine, upu}en je u De~ane arh.

obezbe|uju pukotine na svodovima priprate i da se
mestimi~no popravqaju zidovi sabornog hrama.

between 1956 and 1964. Architect Dobrosav Pavlovi} was
the appointed supervisor of the project in which many
specialists from different branches took part. The façades of
the church, seriously damaged and exposed to deteriorating
activity of the microorganisms – especially when sculptural
decoration was concerned – were cleaned and repaired. The
interventions included the treatment of all the outer surfaces
of the walls with modern fungicides and hydrophobes.
Several damaged ashlars were replaced with new ones.
Twenty years later the church was again in poor
condition. Since the covering was damaged in several
places, rainwater penetrated into the church – especially into
the diaconicon that used to house the monastery’s treasury.
The facades were also in bad condition, showing numerous
damages of the ashlars and sculptural decoration. New
restoration campaign was undertaken under the supervision
of Milka ^anak-Medi}, the architect, in 1984. The church
was provided with new lead-plate roofing and lead-work
covering the cornices, while all the outer surfaces of the
walls were cleaned and treated with fungicides and
hydrophobes. The church was equipped with wiring
providing the electricity, as well as with necessary liturgical
furniture. Several damaged capitals were consolidated. The
old refectory was rebuilt in 1987 to house the exhibition of
objects from the monastery’s treasury, organized in
accordance with museological principles.
Having been interrupted for a short period of time,
the sanation works were continued in 1995 under
supervision of architect Bosiljka Toma{evi}. By 1998 the
facades of the church were cleaned and consolidated once
again. The projecting sculptures on the western façade were
stabilized with dowels. The work on making the copies of
the sculptures, begun before 1964, was taken up again, in
order to provide material for the reconstruction of the
original settings and prepare the grounds for possible
replacement of the damaged pieces. Damaged stone
sculptures were not consolidated.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Condition of the roads leading to the monastery
Good, asphalted road provides communication with
the village of De~ani and, further, with the road leading from
Pe} to \akovica and Prizren. To the northwest it goes
through the valley of Bistrica leading to the peak of the
Mountain Koprivnik. That part of the road is winding and
almost impracticable. On the left bank of the River Bistrica,
along the road, in about 10 km long zone from the monastery
to the village of Gornja Belaja, the hermitage of De~ani can
be seen. Some parts of the hermitage are older than the
monastery.
The monastery has constant supply of the running
water and electricity.
Condition of the monastery and conventual buildings
Having seen the path approaching the fortified gate
and the area in front of the katholikon, one gets surprised
with the perfect order in the monastery and its surroundings.
The church makes a resplendent sight since all the colonies
of microorganisms were removed from the surface of
damaged walls, bringing in relief the bands of two different
colours alternating on its façades. Joints between the ashlars
were renewed with adequately toned mortar. The sculptures
and carvings on the portals and windows were also cleaned,
which makes the façades look well-balanced and perfectly
clean. The residential part of the monastery is well
maintained.
The church of the Ascension of the Lord was
thoroughly inspected. During the course of history the
narthex have suffered the most serious damages. The upper
part of its southern façade, including the frieze of blind
arcades, above the corbels, collapsed in 1735, as it was
recorded in a memorial. Hegumen Misailo had it repaired.
Penetration of the liquid waste from the kitchen towards the
foundations of the narthex resulted in major damages on its
northern side: the settlement of the northern wall and
swelling of its outer side. The ashlars from that zone had to
be removed and put back again, as it was done during the
sanation campaign of 1935-1941. Deformations and certain
changes on the frescoes of the narthex have already been
recorded. The decay of original wooden beams acting as
bracing, put above the capitals of the columns, resulted in

Stawe prilaznih puteva
Manastir je dobrim asfaltnim putem
povezan sa istoimenim selom i preko wega sa
putem koji vodi iz Pe}i u \akovicu i daqe u
Prizren. Od manastira put daqe vodi ka
severozapadu dolinom reke Bistrice do vrha
Koprivnika. U tom delu put je krivudav i na
pojedinim mestima te`e prohodan. Uz wega se uz
levu obalu Bistrice u pojasu dugom desetak
kilometara, sve do sela Gorwe Belaje, ni`u
de~anske isposnice, od kojih su neke starije od
manastira.
Manastir ima teku}u vodu i struju.
Stawe crkve i manastirskih zgrada
Od prilaza manastirskoj ulaznoj kuli do
dolaska pred sabornu crkvu iznena|uje
besprekoran red u manastiru i oko wega. Crkva
blista, jer su sa wenih o{te}enih fasada skinute
sve kolonije migroorganizama pa je jo{ vi{e
do{la do izraza dvobojnost wenih fasada.
Spojnice izme|u kvadera nanovo su izvedene
prikladnim malterom, ~ini da fasade deluju
kompaktno i besprekorno ~isto, a tome doprinosi
i o~i{}eni klesani ukras na portalima i
prozorima. Odli~no su odr`avani manastirski
konaci.
Crkva Vaznesewa Hristovog detaqno je
pregledana. Tokom istorije, najvi{e je poreme}aja
bilo na priprati hrama. Najvi{i deo ju`ne
fasade, sa frizom slepih arkadica, sru{io se sve
do konzola 1735, {to je zabele`eno u jednom
de~anskom pomeniku. Pale komade vratio je i
u~vrstio tada{wi de~anski iguman Misailo. Te`a
o{te}ewa nastala su kasnije na severnoj strani,
kada je usled prodora otpadnih voda iz kuhiwe u
temeqe priprate, do{lo do slegawa severnog zida
i pojave ja~ih potklobu~ewa wegovog spoqnog
lica. Na tom delu su kvaderi morali biti
pova|eni i ponovo vra}eni, {to je sve u~iweno
tokom sanacionih radova od 1935 do 1941. godine.
Deformacije i promene na freskama u unutra{-

disturbances of the structural system of the narthex. As it
was found out during 1960’s, that made the columns go out
of vertical line. Strong iron bracing was put above the
wooden beams, in order to consolidate columns and vaults in
the position they happened to be found. Southwestern capital
was damaged due to some earlier disturbances of the
construction: carved birds at the foot of the abacus got
detached from the capital’s core. To prevent them from
falling off, in 1990, the dowels were used to fasten them to
the core.
The inspection of the narthex and its walls proved
that they were stable and that there were no changes or new
cracks. The condition of the carvings on the capitals,
including the one repaired in 1990, could not be inspected
since no scaffolding was available. The condition of the
griffin on the west portal leading to the nave, which has not
been fastened well, could not be inspected for the same
reason.
The other parts of the church show no changes.
Only in the chapel of St Nicholas, on the vault surmounting
the central pillar, a considerably big dark stain can be
noticed, probably caused by leaking. Major damages were
recorded on the outer side of the upright part of the wall

separating the chapel from the nave, which surmounts the
central column, but they have been repaired. It is possible
that water used to penetrate there before the latest repair of
damaged ashlars and mortar joints between them, and that
dark stain appeared because the vault has not been properly
dried.
All the thrones from the 16th and 17th centuries,
which were in poor condition, were replaced with new ones
featuring those donated by King Alexander and Queen Maria
Kara|or|evi} before World War II. An old inlay analogion,
which is in good condition, is the only piece of the old
liturgical furnishings that is still being used, while big
Nestor’s cross shows the signs of verminousness.
Special attention was paid to the condition of
façades. The condition of mortar joints between ashlars was
tested in several places. The examination has shown that the
mortar is solid and well attached to the ashlars. The
condition of façades is satisfactory due to recent cleaning
and filling of the cracks in the ashlars. The western façade is
also in god condition regardless the fact that the sculptures
were not treated with consolidants. No decision about filling
the cracks that appeared on the surface of the sculptures
fixed with dowels was made. Only the cracks on the lowest
free-standing sculptures of the western portal, at the foot of
its archivolts, were inspected. Only narrow cracks,
resembling tiny veins were found, without ravages in the
stone. New cracks appeared on the flank of the lioness to the
south, in the same place where an earlier crack was once
filled - between the stone and mortar filling. These cracks
don’t endanger the stability of the sculpture. Despite the
satisfactory condition of the western façade and its
sculptural decoration, it is necessary to keep on with the
conservation treatment: the sculptures demand treatment
with consolidants and filling of the recorded cracks.
The fortified gate was covered with new terracotta
roofing tiles during the latest conservation campaign. All the
damaged parts of its roof construction were replaced on the
same occasion. A few rafters were replaced, as well as all the
laths supporting roof tiles. The gate is now well protected.
All the conventual buildings, with the exception of
Leontije’s dormitory, are in satisfactory condition. The
dormitory of prince Milo{, the archimandry and the refectory
are well protected since they recently got new covering. It is
only in the lowest zone of the northern wall of the refectory
that dampness can be noticed. The archimandry and the
Dormitory of prince Milo{ are well maintained. The sanitary
section and the dining room of Milo{‘ dormitory underwent
conservation treatment. The monks themselves painted
joinery and the floor of the terrace. Great attention is being
paid to the maintenance of these buildings.
Leontije’s dormitory is in poor condition. The
urgent repairs of the mortar coat on its facades were done in
1986. Not long after that, the sanitary section was fixed.
However, in the meantime the dormitory got dilapidated.
Wooden construction of the terrace is damaged. The sanation
of the building is urgent.

u podno`ju arhivolti zapadnog portala. Utvr|eno
je da su sasvim uzane, poput tankih vlasi, i da oko
wih nije do{lo do razarawa kamena. Nove
pukotine otvorile su se na bo~noj strani ju`ne
skulpture (lavice), na mestu gde je popuwavana
starija pukotina, izme|u kamena i novog maltera,
ali one ne utro`avaju stabilnost skulpture. I
pored dobrog op{teg izgleda zapadne fasade i
wene skulpturalne dekoracije neophodno je
nastaviti zapo~ete konzervatorske radove i
skulpturu obraditi odgovaraju}im konsolidantima
i zatisnuti prime}ene pukotine.
Ulazna kula je tokom posledwih
konzervatorskih radova prepokrivena novim
}eramidama, a tada je izmewen i sav oslabeli deo
krovne konstrukcije. Promeweni su neki rogovi i
sve letve pod }eramidom. Sada je dobro za{ti}ena.
Manastirske zgrade su sve, izuzev tzv.
Leontijevog konaka, u dobrom stawu. Nedavno
prepokriveni Milo{ev konak, arhimandrija i
trpezarija dobro su obezbe|eni. Jedino u
trpezariji ima vlage u severnom zidu pri dnu.
Veoma se dobro odr`avaju arhimandrija i
Milo{ev konak, u kojem su konzervatorski
sre|eni sanitarni prostori, mona{ka trpezarija,
a nedavno su monasi prebojili drvenariju i pod na
tremu Milo{evog konaka i lakirali. Sve se sa
velikom brigom odr`ava.
Leontijev konak je u vrlo lo{em stawu.
Najnu`nije popravke maltera na fasadama
izvr{ene su 1986. godine, a ne{to kasnije je
sre|en i sanitarni blok, ali konak je u
me|uvremenu veoma oronuo i drvena konstrukcija
trema popustila na vi{e mesta, tako da se
sanacioni radovi moraju {to pre preduzeti.

RECOMMENDED CONSERVATION
TREATMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURE OF
THE CHURCH AND CONVENTUAL
BUILDINGS
1. The conservation treatment of the sculptural decoration
on the façades needs to be continued. It implies the
consolidation of the damaged stones, making of the
mouldings, reconstruction of the original appearance of the
most severely damaged pieces, and their replacement with
the copies made after that reconstruction. In order to
accomplish it, adequate type of stone has to be provided
2. Leontije’s dormitory demands sanation and revitalization,
based on the working project including static analysis, as
well as wiring, plumbing and sewage projects.
3. Prizren dormitory needs to be restored as soon as it is
possible. A kitchen with the necessary auxiliary rooms
should be built beside the old refectory. These interventions
should be preceded with archaeological investigation of the
area where Prizren dormitory once stood, and the area to the
west of the original dormitory, where a kitchen should be
built. The results of the archaeological research should be
the basis for the preliminary and, subsequently, for the main
project of reconstruction.
Special attention should be paid to the realization of
this plan since the reconstruction of the dormitory and
construction of a kitchen would provide that the old
refectory can be used by the monks.
CONDITION OF THE FRESCOES
The damages recorded by visual inspection are not
new, and they are the result of permanent and long-lasting
destructive processes. There are indications that certain
damages appeared recently, but this should be proved by
thorough investigation and analysis of the frescoes. The
most severely damaged pieces of fresco decoration can be
found in the southwestern part of the chapel of St Nicholas.
Frescoes
Vast surfaces covered with frescoes in the church of
Christ Pantokrator present various problems concerning
conservation of paintings, as it is proved by numerous
damages: some of them can be seen on the surface, while the
others originated in the structure of the wall.
Its long history, numerous destructions in the past,
especially when the roof covering is concerned, resulted in
numerous minor damages and partial destruction of fresco
ground. Along with these old damages, some recent ones can
be noticed. It is possible that recently induced destructive
processes are still in progress. The frescoes are mostly
covered with dark grey strips of solidified deposit from the

PREDLOG KONZERVATORSKIH MERA
NA ARHITEKTURI CRKVE I NA
MANASTIRSKIM ZGRADAMA
1. Neophodno je nastaviti rad na za{titi kamene
plastike na fasadama hrama, {to podrazumeva
konsolidaciju o{te}enog kamena, izradu mula`a i
studijskih rekonstrukcija najo{te}enijih
skulpturalnih delova i wihovu zamenu kopijama
prvobitnih oblika. Da bi se to moglo ostvariti,
neophodno je izvaditi iz majdana odgovaraju}i
kamen.
2. Neophodno je izvr{iti sanaciju i
revitalizaciju tzv. Leontijevog konaka, ~emu
treba da prethodi izrada izvo|a~kih projekata za
statiku, elektriku, vodovod i kanalizaciju.
3. Neophodno je {to pre obnoviti Prizrenski
konak, i izgraditi kuhiwu sa potrebnim pomo}nim
odajama uz zgradu stare trpezarije. Pre toga se
mora arheolo{ki istra`iti prostor nekada{weg
Prizrenskog konaka i deo zapadno od stare
trpezarije, gde je predvi|ena izgradwa kuhiwe, pa
na ishodima tih istra`ivawa zasnovati najpre
idejni, a potom i izradu glavnog projekta.
Rekonstrukcija ovog konaka i izgradwa
kuhiwe moraju se staviti u prvi plan kako bi se
monasima omogu}ilo da koriste i zgradu stare
trpezarije.

nastale ranije sistematskim delovawem destruk-
tivnih procesa. Postoje indikacije da su se
pojavila neka o{te}ewa iz skorijeg vremena. Za
takvu proveru neophodno je neposredno detaqno
pregledati i analizovati te delove `ivopisa.
Najugro`eniji delovi zidnih slika su u
jugozapadnom delu paraklisa Svetog Nikole.
Zidno slikarstvo
Ogromna povr{ina na kojoj postoji

mnogo mesta. Neka od wih su o~igledna, a neka se
nalaze dubqe u strukturama.
Vi{evekovno postojawe, mnoga stradawa i

zidnih slika. Pored tih starijih, postoje i
o{te}ewa iz bli`e pro{losti. Destruktivni
procesi izavani u skorije vreme mogu}e da jo{
traju. @ivopis je prete`no prekriven tamnijim
mrkosivim pramenovima o~vrslog atmosferskog

atmosphere, which hide certain parts of the images, making
thus an unfavourable scene. Extensive assemblage of the
frescoes covers about 4 5000 m2, which means that the work
on its conservation would take long time and would have to
be divided into several stages.
The frescoes in the outer aisles – northern and
southern aisles of the narthex and the nave – are more
severely damaged. Certain parts of the ribbed vaults
covering those bays are also damaged. All the other
deteriorations can be described as partial damages, as
opposed to predominantly deteriorated areas.
The frescoes in the
vault of the
church, typical
damages caused by
dampness
The most serious damages that can be seen from the
level of the ground are located in the chapel of St Nicholas.
Its western wall with depictions of the Parable of the Rich
Man and Beggar Lazarus, Parable of the Good Samaritan,
Christ and a Woman Taken in Adultery, and the portraits of
young king Uro{, queen Jelena, and Simeon Sini{a (?), can
certainly be described as predominantly deteriorated area.
This area shows very serious damages, including
delamination (separation of different layers of mortar acting
as ground for the frescoes), which could get worse. In certain
areas mortar may fall off.
On the soutern wall of the same bay, between
windows, where Christ’s conversation with the centurion in
Capernaum was depicted, delaminated mortar might fall off,
since it moves when touched with hand. Areas exposed to
penetreting water are especially endangered. Repeated
wetting and drying have partly or totally destoyed the
structure of fresco ground. These parts of fresco decoration
demand urgent condition assesment, and adequate
preventive protection.
Modes of deterioration of the fresco decoration
Major part of the fresco decoration was exposed to
deterioration caused by raids and taking away of the
material, long-term exposure to unfavourable conditions of

the atmosphere, and destructive impact of water. The fact
that water used to penetrate through the damaged roof deep
into the structure of the wall, and that it remained in the wall
and mortar ground of the frescoes for a long term, resulted in
wide variety of damages of the fresco decoration. The most
widespread are petrification, calcination and presence of
different kinds of atmospheric and water deposit on the
surface of the frescoes. Long-term exposure to the
destructive impact of water weakened adhesion between
mortar and wall which resulted in major structural damages:
detaching of mortar from the wall, networks of cracks, holes,
etc. The efflorescence can be seen on the surface of many
frescoes. That process can permanently destroy the
adhesives used in the making of frescoes. The most striking
example is the difference between the photo on the picture
postcard printed during campaign aiming to provide funds
for the new building of the Faculty of Theology, showing
Archangel Gabriel (from the west wall of the narthex) and a
photo taken last summer: the latter shows increase in the
quantity of the whitish material on the surface of the fresco.
Increased presence of the deposit (whitish salts) covering the
images of the saints and religious scenes makes an
unfavourable scene. Traces of an earlier inadequate approach
to conservation and presentation of the frescoes can also be
found.
Along with evident presence of efflorescence, a
result of long-lasting destructive processes, there are also
frescoes on which severe damages can be found. The most of
them are recorded in the vaults. Having in mind war
operations in the vicinity of the monastery, there is reason to
fear that some pieces of fresco mortar may simply fall down.
Having seen such a large assemblage of frescoes, one gets
the impression that they are, generally speaking, in good
condition. Earlier iconographic, historic and art historical
studies, however, pointed out the existence of damages
under the surface, i.e. the fact that mortar was detached from
the wall. The condition of those parts of fresco decoration
must have worsened, since they were not subject to
conservation treatment. No precise condition assessment can
be made without thorough inspection. Fresco decoration
needs systematic scientific analysis and technical
examination that would give full insight into the condition of
paintings and provide material for a detailed documentation.
Recommended interventions (stage by stage):
• the use of scaffolding in visual inspection, in stages;
• urgent preventive interventions on the parts of fresco
decoration that may fall off, in the chapel of St Nicholas,
and in the narthex (certain parts of the south wall, parts
of the north wall of the northern aisle, eastern wall of the
north aisle);
• sucessive inspection of the all the surfaces covered with
frescoes; detailed description and condition assessment;

vode, posle o{te}ivawa krovnog pokriva~a u
ranijim vremenima, i weno dugo zadr`avawe u
zidovima i malteru, nosiocu slikanih slojeva,
izazvali su na mnogo mesta najrazli~itije
destrukcije. O~igledni su petrifikacija,
kalcinacija, ali i talo`ewe drugih materija na
licu zidnih slika. Dugotrajna dejstva vode
oslabila su vezu maltera i zida, i zato su se na
nekim delovima zidnih slika pojavila i ve}a
strukturalna o{te}ewa - potklobu~ewa, mre`e
pukotina, krateri... Evidentna je pojava soli na
povr{inama fresaka a to je proces koji mo`e
trajno o{tetiti vezivo slikanih slojeva. Vi{e
nego o~igledan primer je pore|ewe snimka
Arhan|ela Gavrila na razglednici ~ijom se
kupovinom poma`e zidawe nove zgrade
Bogoslovskog fakulteta i snimka koji je letos
na~iwen jer je pove}ano prisustvo beli~astog
materijala na povr{ini te predstave (zapadni zid
priprate). Ve}e naslage deponovanih materijala
(beli~asta {alitra) drasti~no naru{avaju
dostojanstvo svetih likova i prikaza. Na nekim
mestima su posredi neodgovaraju}a slikarsko-
konzervatorska re{ewa u prezentaciji iz ranijih
vremena.
Pored o~iglednih pojava velikih
beli~astih mrqa na delovima zidnih slika, koje
svedo~e o uspostavqenim destruktivnim
procesima, postoje delovi `ivopisa sa te{kim
o{te}ewima. Ona su evidentirana u svodovima
hrama. Opasnost da se delovi zidnih slika obru{e
znatno je pove}ana posle ratnih operacija, koje su
se odvijale u neposrednoj blizini manastira. S
obzirom na veliku povr{inu zidnih slika,
prividni utisak o stawu fresaka je pozitivan.
Me|utim, u nekim ranijim ikonografskim,
istorijskim i umetni~kim istra`ivawima,
prime}ena su dubinska o{te}ewa, odnosno
odvojenost fresko maltera od zida. Sada su
sigurno pogor{ana, jer stru~nih intervencija nije
bilo. Stepen o~uvanosti u ovom trenutku je te{ko
odrediti bez temeqitog uvida.
Osnovne akcije koje bi se morale sprovesti su
sistemetska slikarsko-konzervatorska i hemijsko-
tehnolo{ka ispitivawa, kojima bi se izvr{ili
egzaktni uvidi i izradila temeqna dokumentacija.
Predlog radova na `ivopisu po fazama:

ju`nog broda priprate, delovi severnog zida
severnog broda priprate, isto~ni zid severnog

• sukcesivni pregled svih delova zidova i
svodova sa naslikanim kompozicijama, opis

• taking photographs, digital and video recording,
blueprinting;
• scientific analyses and technical examination in order to
discover the causes of deterioration and provide
material for a detailed documentation;
• computer data processing;
• conservation treatment of the frescoes.
Iconostases and furniture
Main iconostasis seems to be in satisfactory
condition, but it needs thorough inspection. The iconostases
in the chapels show the signs of verminousness. They were
carved in the first half of the 19th century by Trajko, an
artisan following woodcarving style of workshops from
Debar. The icons for these iconostases were painted by the
members of the Lazovi} family, famous for its icon painters.
The iconostasis in the chapel of St Demetrius is severely
damaged by the activity of xylophage, which is proved by
results of their metabolic ativity - little bundles of eaten
wood turned into powder. The other pieces of furniture in the
chapel also show traces of verminousness: chairs, chanter’s
stand. Nestor’s cross, positioned in front of the main
iconostasis, carved in bot yew tree in 1564 by priest
Nikodim, is also affected by verminousness.
The cross of the main iconostasis underwent
restoration treatment in 1980. The crucifix and the icons of
Deesis were removed to the National Museum in Belgrade.
The conservation treatment was supervised by professor
Milorad Medi}, paintings conservator working in the
National Museum in Belgrade.
No record of interventions on the other parts of the
iconostasis is available.
Thorough investigation and condition assessment
should provide grounds for necessary interventions.

Ikonostasi i crkveni name{taj
Centralni ikonostas u naosu hrama je u
relativno dobrom stawu, ali je neophodan detaqan
pregled. Ikonostasi u paraklisima su ugro`eni
zbog crvoto~ewa. Izradio ih je majstor Trajko u
prvoj polovini XIX veka u duboreznoj tehnici
debarske {kole. Ikone na ovim ikonostasima
naslikali su ~lanovi ikonopisa~ke porodice
Lazovi}a. Svi delovi ikonostasa u severnom
paraklisu Svetog Dimitrija u kriti~nom su stawu
i u velikoj meri o{te}eni aktivnim delovawem
ksilofagnih insekata. O tome svedo~i mno{tvo
gomilica usitwene drvene gra|e, posledice
metaboli~kih dejstava insekata. Crvoto~ewem su
zahva}eni i ostali predmeti u blizini ikonostasa
- stolice, pevnica i Nestorov krst, koji se nalazi
ispred centralnog ikonostasa, a izradio ga je
1564. sve{tenik Nikodim u tehnici duboreza u
tisovini.
Slikarko konzervatorski radovi na delu
centralnog ikonostasa, na krstu sa raspe}em,
izvedeni su oko 1980. godine. Krst sa raspe}em i
kompletan Deizisni ~in bili su demontirani i

objects. Residential tower is a peculiar type of fortified
house providing accommodation for the whole, often
numerous, family under the same roof – within a single
rectangular block. The towers usually have three levels,
exceptionally only two of them. The ground-floor is usually
occupied by stables, while the upper story houses the rooms
(}ileri) – one for each family unit. The uppermost floor is
occupied by guest-rooms.
The tower is entered through two doors: one in the
ground-floor, the other in the first story, accessed by an outer
staircase. The second floor is accessed by an inner staircase,
starting from a small entree. In such a way guests can reach
their rooms without disturbing the family living in the house.
These towers were built in coursed rubble. Ashlar
(commonly sandstone ashlar) is used only for the framing of
the apertures. Hip roof is covered with terracotta roofing
tiles.

DESCRIPTION
The façade of the
tower, drawings
Te existing complex of residential towers in Junik
dates from the end of the 18th and from the 19th century.
The complex of residential towers having one or
two stories is concentrated in the quarters inhabited by
Hoxha, Shehu and Pepshi families. Although these towers
were not preserved in their original form, they are significant
examples of vernacular architecture.
Two-story residential tower of the Pepshi family is
a part of the complex. It has an oriel window, a stone gallery
projecting from the perimeter wall, at one of its corners.
Wood and stone are the chief materials used for the
construction of the tower. Its walls were built of undressed
stone bound with lime mortar. Mortar joints are dressed. The
quoins and framing of the doors and windows are done in
ashlar. Subsequent interventions have not affected its
original structure and function. Like other buildings of this
type, the tower consists of a ground-floor and two stories.
Each level has different, precisely defined function.
The tower is rectangular in plan; it has hip roof
covered with terracotta roofing tiles. It has timber floor
construction.

DESCRIPTION
The tower was built at the end of the 18th century,
in the period of anarchy caused by the crisis in the Ottoman
Empire. It is one of the oldest towers in Nivokaz.
It was built of pebble-stone bound with lime mortar.
The quoins, the framing of the apertures and the part of the
second floor that is covered by a timber gallery, are built of
ashlars. Hip roof, with overhanging eaves, is covered with
terracotta roofing tiles. Special attention was paid to the
furnishing of the guest-room, which has a fire-place, closets,
shelves, ceiling made of interlocked boards and lavishly
decorated door.
Residential tower “Arifaj” belongs to the older type
of Metochian house built of stone and timber.

divided by a transverse arch into a nave and a narthex. Two
arched niches are contained within lateral walls of the
narthex. The altar apse is semicircular inside and five-sided
in the exterior. The western portal is surmounted by a niche
and a cross. To the left and to the right, on a level with the
wall, two modest rosettes in brick can be seen. Double-
pitched roof has stone-slate roofing. Façades were built of
dressed limestone, while the jambs were made of marble
from the village of Banja.
In the churchyard, beside the latter-day belfry
positioned in front of the church, one can see several
centuries old mulberry-tree, upon which a branch taken from
the Syrian mulberry-tree from the monastery of Patriarchate
of Pe} was grafted.
Minor fragments of the 14th century frescoes are
preserved in the church. Frescoes painted by Radul in 1672-
1673 are well preserved. Fresco inscription in the south
window, with the authentic signature of the painter, provides
information both about the donor, patriarch Maxim, and the
painter. The peculiarity of the frescoes is the use of
vernacular Serbian in the titles. The iconostasis is compiled
of icons and the Royal Doors, painted by Radul, taken from
the old iconostasis.
Valuable collection of parchment manuscripts was
in 1952 stored in the treasury of the monastery of De~ani.
A few icons from the destroyed churches in the
surroundings of the monastery were stored in the church
after 1999. The most significant among them are the 17th
century Royal Doors from the church in @akovo.
During World War II the church and houses
belonging to Serbs were burnt down. The sanation of the
church and conservation treatment of the frescoes were
undertaken in the period between 1970 and 1973.

building with three semicircular niches in the sanctuary.
Central, altar apse, is five-sided in the exterior. The church is
barrel-vaulted, with stone-slate roofing, while the apse has
lead-plate covering. It was built of dressed limestone. The
church is entered through a door on the western front. It has
three small apertures in the apse and two windows in the
north and south walls, respectively. Well-proportioned and
simple in design, it is close to the architectural style of Ra{ka
School.
The church was thoroughly restored during
conservation campaign conducted by the Regional Institute
for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Pri{tina, under
supervision of architect Milosav Luki} in the period between
1966 and 1968. Until the beginning of the conservation
treatment it was in ruins. The archaeological investigation
was undertaken after the remains of a narthex had been
discovered. The narthex was not reconstructed. To the east of
the church remains of an earlier building – possibly a belfry
- were found. The construction of the existing belfry,
unprofessionally built after the restoration campaign, was
organized and sponsored by the inhabitants of the village.

eastern façade indicate that the church might have been built
in the time of king Milutin. It is a cross-shaped building with
an eastern apse and projecting side bays. The church was
subsequently restored by order of patriarch Makarije
Sokolovi}. The upper part of its construction, including the
octagonal dome decorated with niches and moulded
colonettes, was rebuilt on that occasion. Patriarch Sokolovi}
had the church painted in 1568. The frescoes were probably
painted by the artist, or a group of them, who had worked in
the church in Dubo~ica in 1565.
The east side of the church with the
dormitories: the new one to the

Several building campaigns were recorded during
the 17th century, when the church got new lead plate
covering, and when the new refectory and residential unit
were built. In 1872 a new narthex, higher and longer then the
original one, was built against the west wall of the church.
Certain minor repairs of the church and conventual buildings
were also done. The church got a new iconostasis.
Representation of the Holy Virgin of the Sign was painted in
the conch of the apse.
The lintel above the Royal Doors, bearing the inscription and
signature of painter Maxim, dating from 1732, is the only
remain of the old iconostasis. The present one, painted by
Vasilije and Alexandar Krsti} Daskalovi} \inovski, icon
painters from Glamo~nik near Debar, is designed upon a
very simple scheme, probably featuring the iconostasis from
the 16th century. It has a Sovereign Row with the Royal
Doors and the Upper, north, door; the Crucifixion with the
depiction of the Gospel to the north, and Moses’ Testament
tablets to the south.
Church underwent conservation treatment in the
nineties. Its major result was the sanation of the roof, which
prevented the penetration of atmospheric humidity.

run into weed. The uncontrolled growth of vegetation could
damage the church.
The remains of the frescoes dated to the second half
of the 16th century underwent conservation treatment
immediately after the reconstruction of the church. The
borders of the frescoes, done in lime mortar, still outline
preserved fragments. In certain places fresco mortar is
detached from the wall. Two photographs taken before the
conservation treatment prove that the major damages of the
fresco layer are posterior to conservation interventions.
These damages are caused by capillary dampness. The
presence of efflorescence is particularly conspicuous on the
fresco of St Nicholas on the south wall, to the east of the
window. The fragment of the Resurrection of Lazarus,
clearly visible on a photograph taken in 1964, is now hardly
discernible. The surroundings of the church have run into
weed. The vegetation growing by the walls of the church
stimulates the penetration of capillary humidity. Weed
growing from the roof may destroy both the roofing and the
vault.

concerning the time of its construction date it within the
period between the end of the 12th and the second half of the
14th century.
The church has a rectangular narthex and a
tetraconch nave, both barrel-vaulted. The eastern, altar apse
and the lateral ones are semicircular inside and three-sided in
the exterior. The roofs of the narthex and the apses are lower
than the roof of the nave. All of them are covered with stone
slates. The narthex is lower than the nave. It used to have
two entrances, the western and the northern, but the latter has
been walled in.
Massive walls of the church were built of dressed
stone and limestone bound with lime-mortar. The whole
church is covered with a barrel vault. The façades of the
church are partly coated with mortar on the southern side.
The belfry, the dormitory, on the northern side of
the former churchyard and the church are parts of the same
complex.
Fragments of the 14th century frescoes are
preserved on the southern wall of the nave and in the altar
apse. The decoration of the remaining parts dates from
1580’s. An elaborate composition of the Last Judgment has
been preserved on the walls of the narthex; it includes the
Frescoes in the western
apse of the nave
figures of the progenitors, Adam and Eve, flanking the
arched entrance. In the first zone, only the figures of the
saints have been preserved on the southern and the eastern
walls, whereas on the northern wall only the figure of St
Anthony remained. Half-figure icon of St John Kefaloforos
occupies the niche above the entrance into the nave. Only the
lower parts of the scenes from the Life of St John the Baptist
are preserved on the sides of the vault in the narthex.
Apart from the southern apse, standing figures of
the saints were preserved in the first zone of the narthex.
Above the first zone runs a belt of medallions with the
saints’ busts. The scenes from the Acathiste of the Holy
Virgin are depicted in the second zone of the western wall
and in the third zone of the northern and southern walls. The

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church has been preserved. There are no traces
of devastation caused by military operations.
Fresco decoration underwent conservation
treatment in 1975. Mortar fillings and borders around
frescoes date from that period. The conservation treatment,
however, did not solve the problem of dampness. The walls
are still contaminated by humidity, especially in the lower
zones, where it penetrates capillary. Atmospheric humidity is
present in the upper zones: it penetrates through the walls,
since the façades have not been coated with mortar. This is
especially conspicuous in the northern apse of and on its
eastern wall. The efflorescence, caused by increased
humidity, is present in almost all zones. The surface of the
frescoes is covered with a layer of salt - in the first zone of
the altar apse, on the walls of the northern apse, in the first
zone of the narthex and in the niche above the door in the
eastern wall of the narthex in particular. In the zone of
standing figures, in the altar apse, on the eastern side of the
northern apse and on the south wall of the narthex, severe
contamination of the walls by humidity resulted in
deterioration of the adhesive in the fresco layer and in mortar
fillings, especially in the joints between them, where fresco
mortar is so ruinous that it started to crumble and fall off.
Partial detaching of fresco mortar from the wall was
recorded during the examination of the lower zones, in the
altar apse in particular. In addition to that, a layer of soot was
detected on the western wall of the narthex – on the frescoes
of the Holy Virgin and Christ on the throne, flanking the
door (preserved in half-figure), as well as on the decorative
moulding of the door-post. The lower border of the darkened
area corresponds to the height of the chandeliers, which were
found in the narthex.
The construction of the iconostasis dates from the
19th century. It was designed to carry already existing icons.
The Sovereign Row is occupied by the icons of the Holy

other, to the right, between the icon of Christ and the
southern wall. It is surmounted by Deesis. The Royal Doors
have also been preserved.
The Royal Doors were painted in tempera on
carved linden-boards (north wing: 119×31.3 cm; south wing:
119×31 cm) with boliment gilding. The wooden support was
impregnated and braced where it was necessary. The crack in
the panel on the upper part of the south wing was braced by
a dovetailed strip, which detached and fell off in the
meantime. Small fragments of the colour coat and the chalk
ground, being crackled, started to chip off. These damages
must be anterior to conservation treatment, when they were
probably fixed and coated with glossy varnish. The Royal
Doors are still in situ.
According to the priest, two smaller icons from the
Sovereign Row have been taken to the Regional Institute for
the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Pri{tina for a
conservation treatment. Nothing has been known about their
whereabouts since 1999, when KFOR entered the territory of
Kosovo and Metohija.
The northern door and the icon above them are
probably contemporary to the construction of the
iconostasis.

DESCRIPTION
The Church of St Nicolas, surrounded by the
graveyard, is situated to west from the centre of the village
of Velika Ho~a, at the foot of a slope. It was built in the 14th
century as a single-naved building with a narthex to the west,
separated by a massive stonewall from the nave, and a
sanctuary ending in an apse, to the east. It is believed that it
was built during the reign of the king Stephen De~anski, and
that the parents of tchelnik Gradislav Su{enica were its
donors. The church is barrel-vaulted in its whole length. The
altar apse is considerably lower than the nave. It is
semicircular inside and three-sided in the exterior. The roofs
are covered with stone slates. The side-walk made of stone
slabs around the church is considerably higher in the north
side since it follows the slope of the terrain.
The church got its fresco decoration soon after it
had been built. Only the fragments of the frescoes have been
preserved on the south and west walls of the narthex, at the
foot of the altar table and on the northern wall of the nave.
The church lost its vaults and the upper parts of the
walls in the fire set by the Turks at the end of the 15th
century. It was restored in the second half of the 16th century,

when the upper zones of the walls and the vaults were built.
After the restoration it was adorned with frescos and it got a
new iconostasis in 1577. Three icons from the Sovereign
Row, painted by Longin, have been preserved. The Deesis,
the work of a painter trained in one of the workshops active
in the surroundings of Pe} and De~ani in the 16th century,
has also been preserved. The conservation campaign was
conducted by the Regional Institute for Protection of
Cultural Monuments of Kosovo in the period between 1970
and 1973. The damages of the frescos were repaired. The
14th century frescoes preserved on the western wall, which
were uncovered on that occasion, also underwent
conservation treatment (1970-1975). During those extensive
works the lower part of the first fresco zone, dating from the
16th century, was removed, mounted on a new support and
transferred to the museum in the winery metochy of the
monastery of De~ani in Velika Ho~a.
The 16th century frescoes, dated in the period of
restoration, around 1577, were executed by two painters,
unequal in skill, both following the style and the
iconographic models of the painters of the frescoes in the
renovated narthex of the Patriarchate of Pe} (painted in
1561).
Present iconostasis in the church of St Nicolas was
carved and adorned with icons in 1825, by Petar from Debar,
who left his signature on the architrave separating the upper
zones of the iconostasis.

southeastern part of the roof, and they may result in
penetration of atmospheric humidity, moistening of the vault
and the upper zones of the walls, as well as in temperature
fluctuations, and the appearance of condensation humidity.
The northern and northwestern walls are affected by severe
capillary action and percolated water.
The contamination of the walls by capillary
dampness resulted in development of the efflorescence and
new damages of the frescoes in the lower zones, particularly
along the upper border of the damp area. Atmospheric
humidity, which has been penetrating through the roof, has
caused much stronger efflorescence and more severe
damages of the paint layer in the upper zones. These
damages are typical of the lower border of the damp area,
whose width ranges between 2 and 3 meters, and spreads
through the third, the fourth and the fifth zones all over the
walls of the church. The examination of the first fresco zone,
up to the level of about 2 m in height, showed that fresco
mortar detached from the wall in several places. These
detaches are mostly located in the in the altar apse and in the
eastern part of the north wall of the nave. A layer of soot,
from the height of about 1 m upwards, covers the fresco
layer on the southern wall, to the west from the entrance.
The 16th century iconostasis was replaced by a new
one in 1825. The new iconostasis was constructed in such a
manner that it could carry the icon of the church’s patron
saint, St Nicolas. The icon is now stored in the church of St
Stephen in Velika Ho~a.
The icons that can presently be seen on the
iconostasis were painted in oil on canvas mounted on
wooden panel. Two tears of the canvas were recorded on the
icon of the Holy Virgin with the Child - they spread over the
left hand of the Holy Virgin, the lower part of the face of
Christ and the drapery beneath it. All the other parts of the
iconostasis were painted in oil on panel. The foot of the cross
in the third zone, on which the Crucifixion was painted, has
been broken. Its upper part, leaning towards the sanctuary
has been tied to the iconostasis with a steel wire. It is not
likely to fall off. The paint layer is quite stable, but it is
covered with darkened varnish and tarnished with soot and
dirt.

The church is being protected by a KFOR unit.
Since the keys were not available only the exterior of the
church could be inspected.
The building shows neither damages, nor
indications of increased humidity.
On the south side of the churchyard new dormitory
can be seen: oblong, consisting of a ground-floor and the
upper story, with a double-pitched roof covered with roofing
tiles, and a belfry attached to its west side. The ground floor
houses a dinning hall, a kitchen, a pantry and the entrance.
The monastic cells are probably on the upper story. The blind
arches on the façade of the dormitory and the pilasters
supporting them were made of stone, while the wall filling
around windows was built in brick. The façade has been
coated with mortar and whitewashed. Doors and window
frames are made of wood. The churchyard is paved.
The churchyard and little graveyard are protected
by a wire fence.
Recommended measures of technical protection:
1. regular maintenance;
2. the disposition of the gutters and organization of the
drainage system in the churchyard, as well as arranging
of the graveyard and building of the enclosing wall,
should be considered in a detailed spatial regulation

DESCRIPTION
After the Turkish conquest in 1455, Velika Ho~a
began to lose its trading and administrative significance. The
Turks gave the preference to the nearby Orahovac, which
soon became an important administrative, political, cultural
and commercial centre. The clock tower, still dominating the
city, is a rare example of secular architecture in the old
market-place (~ar{ija) in Orahovac.
The clock tower was built in 1815 by Mahmud-
pasha Rotulovi}, who, together with the Turkish army and
the Albanian volunteers, organized military operations,
against Kara|or|e in the First Serbian Uprising. After the
conquest of Belgrade and Smederevo he took three bells
from the local churches and mounted them on the clock
towers that he got built in Prizren, Orahovac and the village
of Mamu{a near Prizren.
In 1908 the original bell was replaced with the bell
taken from the clock tower in Velika Ho~a. A tradition says
that the bell from Velika Ho~a was donated by princess
Milica. That bell can still be seen in the clock tower in
Orahovac.
The clock tower in Orahovac was designed in
Oriental style. This massive edifice, square in plan, built in
coursed rubble with ashlar quoins, is 14 m high, while its
walls are about one metre thick. Inner timber staircase
leading to the clock mechanism was destroyed. The tower
was entered through arched doors. The year of the
construction of the clock tower is incised, in Arabic script, in
the stone arch of the door. The hip roof of the clock tower
presently has tin-plate covering. The tower is topped by a
turret supported by four colonettes, which used to house the
clock mechanism.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church has been preserved. There are no traces
of devastation. The objective of earlier conservation
campaigns was to prevent penetration of humidity into the
lower zones of the walls. Since the terrain is gently sloping
from the northeast to the southwest, the flow of water from
the small trench on the north side could cause additional
moistening. That is the reason why these interventions
should be followed by permanent monitoring of relative
humidity and the condition of the frescoes. Setting of the
drainage system would dry wider zone around the church.
The church has been rebuilt. Remains of the older

in De~anska mahala (De~ani quarter), opposite the parish
house of the church of St Stephen. This is the only remaining
complex, which belongs to a monastery, though there used to
be many of them in the past.
Velika Ho~a and its vineyards were mentioned in
the sources as early as the 12th century, when Stephen
Nemanja granted Ho~a as a metochy to the monastery of
Chilandar in the charter issued in 1198/1199. The grant was
confirmed by charters issued in the course of subsequent
centuries.
The Monastery of De~ani had its vineyards in
Velika Ho~a since the times of Emperor Du{an. In the period
between the World Wars, about 20 hectares of vineyards
were the property of the monastery.
The complex, which is enclosed by a high stone
wall, encompasses the Lodgings, the winery, and the old
Lodgings, which was turned into the chapel of St Tryphon.
According to an inscription preserved in the ground
floor, the Lodgings was built in 1851, by order of Kiril
Andrejevi}, hieromonach of De~ani. It is rectangular in plan
and consists of a ground-floor and an upper story. Ground -
floor porch (ajat) leads to two rooms - storages for spirits and
toolkits. Wooden staircase starting from the porch leads to a

timber terrace (~ardak) on the upper story. The room facing
the courtyard and the kitchen could originally be accessed
from the terrace. The guest-room and the bedroom were
accessed through the kitchen. Nowadays, only the kitchen is
entered from the terrace. The kitchen leads to a small entrée
to the left, in front of the rooms, and to the guest-room – so
called “Jerusalem chamber”, to the right. An iconostasis –
“ikonluk”, a wooden rail carrying icons, can be seen in
“Jerusalem Chamber”.
The ground floor of the Lodgings is built of stone
bound with lime mortar. The outer walls of the upper story
are built of stone and braced with bond-timbers, while the
partition-walls and the courtyard façade are timber-framed.
The ceilings of the upper story are made of planks nailed to
the ceiling beams. Jerusalem Chamber has chestnut coffered
ceiling. Hip roof was originally covered with terracotta

Wooden grates (mu{ebaci) can be seen on the small window
in the kitchen. All the posts in the porch and timber terrace
have plain decoration. Simple decorative mouldings can be
seen in the staircase and terrace fence parapets.
The old Lodgings dates from the 16th century. It
was built of stone, and it probably had stone-slate roofing.
The main entrance to the estate is situated between the right
and left wings of the building, which is rectangular in plan.
Until a few years ago, the monks of De~ani monastery lived
in the cell in the right section of the Lodgings. The left wing
of the building was remodelled in order to house the chapel
dedicated to St Tryphon.
The winery (vinica) is built of stone and covered
with terracotta roofing tiles. A porch supported by massive
stone columns encompasses the building in its whole length.
The interior of the winery is undivided. Apart from the wine-
press, various tools, barrels and casks, two very old woods
for wine are kept there, whereas the third has been
dissembled and its parts were stored, awaiting better times.
Woods are 5 m high, they have 4 m in diameter, and they can
store 10 to 15 tones of grapes.
The complex was restored in 1995. The auxiliary
entrance on the south side was replaced by a nice masonry
gate. The old gate on the north side is out of use. A part of
the older Lodgings was turned into the chapel of St Tryphon.
Objects brought from the demolished church of the
monastery of Zo~i{te are stored in the chapel.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The complex of the metochy of De~ani monastery
was not damaged in military operations in Velika Ho~a. The
monument is in satisfactory condition but demands regular
maintenance. The existing electrical installation, as a
constant source of possible sparking that could cause fire, is
unsafe.
Recommended Measures of Technical Protection
in the Lodgings:
1. replacing of the existing roofing with terracotta roofing
tiles;
2. protection of the wooden elements from the impact of
humidity and insects by impregnation;
3. repair of the window in the room with large windows, in
the eastern part of the upper story.
in the Chapel of St Tryphon:
1. restitution of the original stone-slate roofing and simple
profiled stone cornice;
2. restitution of the original appearance of the monastic
cell.
In the Winery
1. repair of the roofing, which implies replacing of the
asbestos boards under the roofing tiles;
2. repair of bond-timbers in the walls and columns by
bracing of the joints, replacing ruinous material,
impregnation and filling of the damages in the stone
columns;
3. locks and metal-work – lock coverings, hinges, door-
handles and grates should be cleaned from rust with
sand or liquid (the grates), and coated with primer and
paint;
4. dismantled old wood should be assembled, while the
existing barrels should be repaired.
All the objects demand the reconstruction of the
electrical installations, setting the fire alarms, and alarms
against burglary. All the wires must be placed inside the
walls. Switchboards, put in noticeable places, should be
dislocated.
Presentation
- The regime of usage – admission of guests and visitors –
needs to be fixed; a board with the ground plans of all the
objects should be placed on a noticeable spot. All the

DESCRIPTION
The house of the Haji family of the Spasi}s is the
most representative object of residential architecture in
Velika Ho~a.
It is situated in the centre of Velika Ho~a and
attracts attention by its appearance. It was built in the first
half of the 19th century, between 1830 and 1835 and the
family tradition links it to its ancestor’s pilgrimage to
Jerusalem. The house was renovated in 1860, as it could
until recently be read in the Old Slavic inscription above the
window on the front façade of the house. The latest
remodellings date back to 1968, when the stable (“izba”) in

pedestrians and vehicles, old-fashioned lock-coverings,
hinges, locks, and the decorative shelters above the doors,
covered with stone slates.

and his companions Savatije Milo{evi}, a clerk from the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ra{ka, Kosta Karaperi} from
Konjuh in Kosovo, @ivojin Rafajlovi} from Kru{evac, Tasa
Milovanovi} from Drajkovac, Stani{a [eli} from Gotovu{a
and Stanoje Miki}, travelling from Kur{umlija to
Macedonia, decided to spend the night in Velika Ho~a, in the
tower of Lam Uka, who had promised that he would not turn
them over to the Turks. In spite of that, they were betrayed
in the night between the 24th and 25th of May. While the
komitadji were sleeping upstairs, the Turkish soldiers and
quite a large group of the Albanians surrounded the building
and sneaked into the ground-floor. They were shooting
between the beams of timber floor construction. Five of the
komitadji where killed in the tower, while the two of them
were shot while trying to jump out through the window.
After that, the tower was set on fire and the bodies were
burnt in it.
This event lived in the memory of the population of
Metohija and on the site of the old tower a new memorial
tower was built in 1936. The remains of the brave komitadji
were placed in the stone sarcophagus, kept in the interior of

the tower. The following text was incised into the marble
covering of the sarcophagus:
“This memorial tower was built in 1936 by Jovan
Mihailovi}, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in
retirement, ex-member of the Executive Committee of the
National Revolutionary Organization for Liberation of
Southern Serbia, in Vranja, in the memory of his comrades,
who were killed here, on the Ascension-day in 1905.”
The memorial tower is built of rubble bound with
lime mortar. It is rectangular in plan. The stone sarcophagus
with the remains of the komitadji is placed in the ground-
floor. The gallery in the upper story encompasses three inner
walls. It is reached by a masonry staircase on the south side,
accessed through a separate entrance. The gallery is
supported by three semicircular arches. Arched windows can
be seen in the upper part of the gallery. Such windows
usually acted as loop-holes in the towers of Metohija.
The front of the stone sarcophagus is positioned
against the wall, into which a board made of black marble,
with an incised wreath, was mortared. It is surmounted by
another board with the incised names of the killed komitadji.
The southern and western sides of the tower were
encompassed by a courtyard, which once had stone
enclosing wall. The yard was entered through a masonry
gate.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Since the tower is located in the small square close
to the centre of the village, all the roads leading to it are in
good condition. The object lacks the infrastructure.
Yearlong neglecting of the interior and the
surroundings of this monument gave the impression of
certain lack of concern. The tombstones have been moved
and damaged, the chandelier destroyed, while the candelabra
were broken. The water from the roof pours down into the
grass and, since the area around the tower is not paved,
penetrates into the foundations and walls causing damages
on the surface of the wall up to 1.5 m in height.
Recommended Measures of Technical Protection:
1. restitution of the original roofing – plain terracotta
roofing tiles;
2. replacing of the damaged wings of the door; they should
be painted and equipped with adequate lock and other
metal-work;

The roof constrution of
the winery
The winery, which belonged to the church of St
Stephen, certainly existed in the 15th or the 16th century. It
has been restored several times in its history. Present object
is believed to have been built in the 18th century.
The building is square in plan. Due to sloping
terrain and the requirements of process of wine production,
the interior is cascading. The entrance section was used for
unloading, the second one for pressing and processing of
grapes, while the third, the lowest level, acted as storage for
wine barrels.
The lower part of the winery was built of stone
bound with lime mortar, while the upper parts are the result
of a restoration and they are built of adobe. The winery has
timber roof construction. Rafter bottoms are leaning on the
walls, while the central part of the construction is supported
by trussed beams. The lower parts of the hip roof are covered
with stone slates, the upper with terracotta roofing tiles. The
winery has three entrances: one on the lower side of the
building, by the road, accessed by a staircase, and the other
two on the upper side.
To the east of the winery a courtyard into which
wagons carrying grapes used to arrive, can be seen.
The winery of St Stephen’s church is protected as a
cultural monument, because it testifies of a centuries-long
tradition of wine-growing and production of wine, which is
a special feature of the village in which it was built. It also
points to the role of the church as a landowner and
manufacturer of this important agricultural product
eversince the Middle Ages.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The winery is situated by the road, which leads
from the church of St Stephen church to the Tower of Lazar
Kujund`i}. The object is not equipped with electrical wiring.
The northern and southern sides of the object are
torn down, due to loosening of the rafters in the wooden roof
construction. Certain parts of the wall built of stone bound
with lime mortar, with horizontal bracing – bond-timbers -
are damaged, especially on the joints with the upper part of
the wall built of adobe. Due to penetration of rain, the upper
parts of the walls are ruinous. The floor is presently covered
with a thick layer of earth and straw.
Recommended Measures of Technical Protection:
1. The roof construction demands urgent repair; it should
be covered with stone slates or terracotta roofing tiles;
2. ruinous walls demand static sanation and rebuilding;
3. cleaning of the interior and restitution of its original
cascading floor.
4. partition walls defining the rooms at the opposite sides
of the winery should also be restored;
5. electrical wiring should be replaced with new
installation; the lights featuring the lighting system of
the time in which the object was built should be set on
the enclosing wall;
6. the winery should be equipped with information boards
showing maps and explanations, similar to the board
with marked places of interest, which can be seen in the

semicircular inside, and eight-sided in the exterior. The nave
and the sanctuary are surmounted by two identical domes,
hidden under the roof. Timber construction of the choir
gallery, to the west, is covered with cloister vault. The aisles
are barrel-vaulted. In the nave and sanctuary, the springing
of the dome, just above the capitals of cylindrical columns,
was braced by wooden beams. The capitals of the western
pair of columns are adorned with an ornament featuring
leaves. Timber gallery is accessed by a narrow timber
staircase.
The floor is paved with large stone slabs. The walls
are coated with mortar and whitewashed, with the exception
of the dome, built of limestone, which remained uncovered
– only the mortar joints were smoothened down. There are
no indications that the walls have ever been covered with
mural paintings.
Eight-sided apse and the aisles’ walls were built of
ashlars cut in different manner, varying in dimensions. The
stone has warm yellowish tone. Mortar joints were filled
with lime mortar, smoothened down. The belfry attached to
the west front of the church belongs to recent times. Square
in plan, it has three deep arcades supported by two columns
in the ground floor. The upper story, covered with octagonal
dome, has solid walls fenestrated with three narrow
rectangular windows. The dome is covered with shallow
lead -plate calotte. The upper story, with bells, is accessed by
a narrow bent staircase. The church has double-pitched roof
covered with double-through roofing tiles. The roof of the
apse is extremely shallow and covered with stone slates. On
the wall of the apse, traces of an earlier wall-plate can be
seen, indicating that the angle of the pitch was changed. A
frieze of blind arcades supported by corbels under the eaves
of the apse is a conspicuous decorative detail.

The belfry
The apertures – two windows in the south wall, one
on the north and one in the apse, are outlined by precisely cut
ashlars and covered with iron grids. The construction of the
south portal consists of a stone archivolt and massive stone
jambs. Its door is heavy, wooden, with metal plating. The
main portal, in the western wall, also has stone arcuated
construction. Its doors are, however, simple, made of
vertically laid planks. On the western wall, under the eaves,
a projecting zoomorphic terracotta ornament can be seen. In
certain places on the facades slabs or spoils with the
inscriptions and dates were found. The inscriptions are not
always clear and legible. Text on a tablet from the south wall
reads: “This temple was built in 1859” (inscribed on
February 20, 1909). In a spoil inbuilt above the southern
portal, the year of 1871 has been inscribed. A slab with three
figures and a bird is also above the southern portal. On the
north window the year of 1842 (?) has been inscribed. On the
colonettes in the apse incised dates can be noticed.
By south wall, near the portal a monument made of
white stone, with vertically positioned gravestone (36×55
cm), can be seen. One face of the gravestone shows the
portrait of the deceased, the other bears a votive inscription:
“Passenger, do not spare trouble to read the following words:
here lyeth the body of the persevering and hard-working in
the field of enlightment, Mr Blagoje Kujund`i}, a teacher
born on March 21, 1869 in Orahovac. Deceased in the prime
of life on July 31, 1898. God forgive him”.
Compared to contemporary pieces, the iconostasis
seems to belong to a more monumental type. The chancel
screen was not organized in a line: its central part is slightly
recessed towards the apse – the depth of the recess being
equal to the diameter of columns. The work of three groups
of painters or three individual painters can be distinguished.

nekoliko mesta po fasadnim zidovima crkve
na|ene su plo~e ili spolije sa zapisima i
godinama, ne uvek ~itqive. Tekst sa plo~e na
ju`nom zidu glasi: “Ovaj hram sazidan je 1859“
(napisano 20. februara 1909.). Iznad ju`nog
portala ugra|ena je kamena spolija sa uklesanom
1871. godinom. Tu je i plo~a sa tri figure i
jednom pticom. Na prozoru severnog zida uklesana
je 1842. godina (?). Na apsidalnim kolonetama
vidqivi su urezi sa godinama.
Uz ju`ni zid, blizu portala, je i spomenik
od belog kamena sa vertikalno postavqenom
plo~om (36 x 55 cm) Na jednoj strani je lik

rich draperies, skilled drawing, rich colour and delicately
treated physiognomies, must have been painted by a trained
painter. The painter of the second zone of icons is less skilled
and somewhat blunt when the quality of presentation of the
saints and scenes is concerned. The painter of the
Resurrection of Lazarus stands out for his individual style
characterized by gentle, slender figures, and reduced
drawing and colour. In the lower right corner of the icon an
illegible inscription mentioning the year of 1896 can be seen.
It is not clear whether it has been the signature of the painter
or the donor.
In the socle of the iconostasis vases with flowers
were painted. The Sovereign Row shows the icons of
Archangel Michael, St Nicholas, St Stephen, The Dormition
of the Virgin, Archangel Gabriel, St George, The
Resurrection of Lazarus. The second zone consists of a row
of icons showing figures of the saints or compositions: St
Theodore Tyron and St Demetrius, Crucifixion,
Annunciation, The Infant Jesus Presented at the Temple,
Three Hierarchs, Serbian archbishops Ss Sava and Arsenije,
two standing figures of saints (illegible titles). In the
following row The Virgin and the twelve apostles are shown
in half-figure. It is surmounted by The Baptism of Christ,
Palm Sunday, The Resurrection of Christ, Ascension, Holy
Doctors Cosmas and Damian, Crucifixion and an icon with
totally destroyed paint layer. The iconostasis is topped by a
cross in complicated woodcarving, with painted Crucifixion.

DESCRIPTION
The church of St Anne was built in 1912, in a
schoolyard, on the site of an earlier church. According to the
local tradition, the Turks have destroyed the earlier church of
St Anne in the middle of the 19th century in order to build a
mosque in its place. After 1912 the mosque was demolished
and the church was rebuilt in the same place with the
donations of Vanka, wife of Janko Zivgarevi} from Velika
Ho~a. The church was restored at the end of 20th century. It
is single-naved, with the main entrance on its west side and
an eastern apse. During the latest restoration campaign
masonry vault was replaced with the new one, cast in
concrete. The entrance on the west façade is arched. It is

stone and limestone, bound with lime mortar. A lot of spoils
and decorative crosses made of slim bricks can be seen on its
facades, particularly on the southern one. Different types of
masonry work on the north façade belong to different
rebuilding campaigns.
The church is barrel-vaulted. The altar apse is lower
than the nave. It is semicircular inside and three-sided in the
exterior. Semicircular niche of the prothesis is to the left
from the altar. The altar apse is off the church’s axis, shifted
to the south; it is in the axis of the Royal Doors.
The original stone-slate roofing was replaced with
double-through roofing tiles. The western wall of the church
is topped by a belfry. Pilasters and an arch, which follows the
vault line, are the only remains of the old west wall and the
portal leading to the nave. A stone cross was mortared into
the wall above the altar apse, beneath the eaves.
A side-walk made of stone slabs runs around the
church. The floor of the church, made of new stone slabs, has
been leveled with the sidewalk.
Differences in masonry work indicate the existence
of two distinct phases in the construction of the church: the
earlier nave, which got its present form in the 16th century,
and the latter-day narthex with the belfry, dating from the
second half of the 19th century. In the 1960’s the church still
had stone-slate roofing, which was recently replaced by
double-through roofing tiles.
A fresco of the Holy Virgin with the Child on the
throne and two Archangels, from the second half of the 19th
century, has been preserved in the altar apse. The rest of the
fresco ensemble dates from 1864, when the whole church
was painted by Joseph from Lazaropolis, as it is reads in the
inscription on the western wall, to the right from the church’s
entrance.
The models for the iconographic programme of the
large fresco ensemble painted by Joseph from Lazaropolis,
must have been found in the fresco decoration of the
churches of St Nicholas and St John, both in the village of
Velika Ho~a.
The iconostasis is contemporary to the fresco
decoration. It was undoubtedly designed and carved in a

Oltarska apsida je ni`a od naosa, spoqa je

je polukru`na ni{a proskomidije. U odnosu na
osovinu hrama, oltarska apsida je pomaknuta
prema jugu i u osovini je carskih dveri.
Krovovi su sada pokriveni falcovanim
crepom, koje su zamenile prvobitni pokriva~ od
kamenih plo~a. Nad zapadnim zidom je zvonik "na
preslicu". Od nekada{weg zapadnog zida naosa i
portala ostali su pilastri i luk koji prati
liniju svoda. Spoqa nad oltarskom apsidom, pod
strehom, utisnut je kameni krst.
Oko hrama je trotoar od kamenih plo~a.
Pod u hramu je od novih kamenih plo~a i
postavqen je u nivou trotoara.
Na crkvi se zbog razlika u na~inu zidawa
jasno prepoznaju dve faze nastanka - stariji naos,
koji je svoj sada{wi oblik dobio u XVI veku, i
novija priprata sa zvonikom "na preslicu", iz
druge polovine XIX veka. Crkva je jo{ {ezdesetih
godina ovog veka bila pokrivena kamenim
plo~ama, ali je u novije vreme krovni pokriva~
zamewen falcovanim crepom.
U oltarskoj apsidi je sa~uvana freska
Bogorodice sa Hristom na prestolu i dva
arhan|ela iz druge polovine XVI veka. Ostatak

occupies the northern – “upper” door. Next to it, to the right,
the icon of the Holy Virgin with the Child can be seen. The
Annunciation occupies the central part of the Royal Doors,
while the four Evangelists, encompassed by carved arcades
were depicted beneath it. The medallions with the images of
the prophets David and Solomon are placed in the upper part
of the rich and beautifully carved stem. On the top of the
Royal Doors - the place usually occupied by a cross, the icon
of the God the Father encompassed by a carved frame,
ornate with floral motives, can be seen. The rest of the
Sovereign Row, to the right, is occupied by icons of Christ
and St Stephen, the archdeacon. The Sovereign Row is
surmounted by richly decorated ungilded grates carved à
jour. The medallions with the prophets’ busts in gilt carved
frames and the row of icons depicting the Apostles in the
Deesis, encompassed by arcades supported by small twisted
colonettes, occupy the wide beam above carved fields. The
central part of the architrave is occupied by carved dragons
with crossed tails, which carry a cross with the Crucifixion
and cherubs. Carved flame tongues breathed out by the
dragons, support the icons of the Holy Virgin and St John.
The ends of the architrave are decorated with carved floral
stems. The cross is topped by an eagle, carrying a hanging
lamp in its beak.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church has been preserved. There are no traces
of war devastation, but the dampness, which could endanger
the frescos, requires setting of small trenches and drainage
system, as well as drying of the wider area around the
church.
Preserved wall paintings date from two epochs. The
earlier mural decoration, fresco as it seems, was partly
preserved in the altar apse. It dates from the second half of
the 16th century. The fresco of the Holy Mother Wider than
the Sky is covered with dark layer of soot and dirt, while the
faces of the Holy Virgin and Christ are densely picked.
Damaged areas around the fresco, coated with mortar and
retouched, are also covered with dark layer of soot and dirt.
The latter-day mural decoration, probably al secco, dates
from 1864. Paint layer is extremely darkened. One gets the
impression that the soot and dirt have penetrated deep into it
and that it is not possible to clean the murals without
damaging the paint layer. The former priest had the murals
cleaned, but the intervention was incompetently done and
the paint layer was rubbed with wet cloth together with dirt,
which resulted in reduction of colour intensity of the paint
layer in the cleaned areas. The cleaning was continued in a
selective manner: only certain parts of the images got paler
tone - haloes, stoles, borders and the saints’ robes. Such
interventions brought into relief the drawing. Contamination
of the walls by humidity resulted in development of
efflorescence on all the wall surfaces up to the springing of
the vault, with the exception of permanently damp area in
their lowest zones, up to 1 m in height.
The iconostasis consists of three zones. The

There is no information when the estate in Velika
Ho~a became a metochy of the monastery of St Marko
Kori{ki from Kori{a. The impressive Lodgings with the
winery belonged to the monastery up to the 1870’s. It is now
the property of three brothers from the Luki} family.
Since the Lodgings with the winery was built on a
sloping terrain, it can be envisaged in its entirety from a
distance – from the courtyard, just after it is entered through
the gate. Its ground floor is divided into two wine-cellars.
The smaller wine-cellar is reached by a little staircase
accessed through the opening in the floor of one of the
rooms. The bigger one is entered from the porch in the
central part of the ground-floor. The porch (ajat) is
surmounted by a timber terrace (~ardak), which is now
walled in. The interior of the residential area has been partly
remodelled, and the final word about it can be said only after
the analysis of the function of its spatial units.
The front of the building was built of stone braced
with bond-timbers. The lower zones of the remaining three
sides are built of stone, while their upper parts are timber-
framed. Low-pitched hip roof is partly covered with
terracotta roofing tiles.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Many people left Velika Ho~a after KFOR entered
Kosovo and Metohija. For that reason the object, only
occasionally used in the past, is now completely abandoned.
From time to time the refugees from Zo~i{te reside in its
right wing. The object is equipped with electrical
installations.
The most serious visible damages were detected on
the roof construction and the ceiling. These damages could

DESCRIPTION
The house of the Mici} family, one of the largest
families in Velika Ho~a, has been preserved in a village lane
in Donja mahala. The house with the winery, probably dating
from the second half of the 19th century, was bought by
Stanoje \or|evi}, the father of the present owner after the
family commune had split, from a rich man, remembered by
his name Spasa Ni{lija. The family descendants lived in the
house until they built a new, modern house in the same
courtyard.
The Mici} family house lot, with the objects built
along the borders of the courtyard and a free central unit, is
rectangular in plan. It is entered from the street side through

vehicles and pedestrians. The winery is to the left from the
gate, while the remains of the former barn, are to the right.
Behind the wall, which remained of the barn, a barn-shovel
can be seen. The house is situated behind the winery, along
the border of the yard.
The house is rectangular in plan. Owing to sloping
terrain of the yard, it has three levels. Its basement is
occupied by a lofty stable, which could house ten head of
cattle (cows, oxen, pigs), and a pantry. The stable is entered
directly from the yard, through the door to the left from the
staircase, while the door leading to the pantry is to the right.
Spacious, stone staircase leads from the yard to the
corridor. The corridor leads to the kitchen with an open fire-
place, which is on the same floor level as the corridor. On the
left side of the corridor starts the staircase, which through a
small passage leads towards two rooms. The backroom acted
as a bedroom, while the front one was used as a living room.
There corridor and the kitchen have no ceilings. The rooms
have ceilings made of interlocked boards ({a{ovci).
The northern part of the house was built of stone
bound with daub and braced by bond-timbers, while the
masonry work of three other walls is the combination of
stone and adobe. Hip roof is covered with stone slates and
plain terracotta roofing tiles. All the floors are of beaten
earth. The windows are wooden, single, two-winged without
window frames, varying in size. The doors are also made of
wood. The chains, dough tray, cupboards, and a sink for
carrying away dirty water (vodova~a) can still be seen in the
kitchen.
The winery, which dominates the yard, is
rectangular in plan. Similar to all such objects, two units can
be distinguished in its interior: the one in the floor level and
the other, which is dug in the ground, acting as storage for
the casks with grapes. The Mici} family owned two large
casks, in which 2 500 and 7 000 kg of grapes could be stored.

joists are set on one of the bond-timbers. The winery was
built of stone bound with lime mortar, braced with bond-
timbers. The highest section of the walls, beneath the cornice
was built of adobe. The building has stone-slate roofing. A
dormer window acting as ventilation hole (bad`a) is placed
in the central part of the roof.
The winery was also used for brandy distillation.
An old masonry distillery section (kazanja~a) can still be
seen to the left of the door. There is an opening in the wall

Wattle barn-shovel
the barn was one of the biggest in Velika Ho~a - it could

terrace used in leisure hours.
The barn-shovel is old; it was bought and brought
to the yard in the 1930’s. It was set against the perimeter wall
on the street side. The space between the wooden posts,
binders and beams, making the construction of the shovel,
was filled with twisted wattle.

The house and the winery are out of use; they are
dilapidated and used mostly for disposal of old things.
Behind them, in the lower part of the yard, a new house and
a well have been built.
Recommended Measures of Technical Protection
The house demands: the restoration of the terrace
and the roof, including thorough examination of the roof
construction; covering of the roof with stone-slates;
removing of the mortar coat from the walls and replacing it
with the new one, after which the walls should be white
washed; replacing of the old joinery.
The interior of the winery should be cleaned from
the layers of rubble; ruinous stone stairs need to be rebuilt.
Wooden double-door should be replaced with the new one.
Wooden floor of the terrace on the barn should be
replaced. Double-through roofing tiles covering the barn
should be replaced with plain terracotta roofing tiles.
In order to stress the air of authenticity, asbestos
boards roofing of the shed between the gate for vehicles and
barn-shovel, and the double-through roofing tiles covering
the gate should be replaced by stone-slates or plain terracotta
roofing tiles.

DESCRIPTION
Sta{i}’s House is situated in the lane just opposite
the main entrance of the complex of St Stephen’s church, in
the centre of Velika Ho~a. Before the new house was built on
the same lot, it used to be the only residential object in the
line towards the lower road, which connects the Tower of
Lazar Kujund`i} and the Brki}’s water-mill.
By the type of masonry work and the articulation of
space, the house of Jova Sta{i} is a typical example of a
single-storied house in Velika Ho~a. It was probably built in
the 19th century. The house is rectangular in plan. The
kitchen and the little pantry in the ground-floor are preceded
by a porch (ajat). Three rooms of the upper story were
accessed through the timber terrace (~ardak), the upper
construction of which is supported by wooden posts. The
guest-room was in the corner of the upper story.
The house has stone-slate roofing, while the hips of
the roof are covered by terracotta roofing tiles. A wooden
chimney (bad`a) conveying the smoke from the fire-place,
can be seen on the roof. The wall facing the street is built of
stone braced with bond-timbers set at a distance of 1.2 m.
The lower parts of the three walls facing the yard are built of
stone, while the upper zones are made of adobe. All of them
are braced with bond-timbers (atule). The first row of bond-
timbers, from the wall-plate downward, is set at the height of
the top of the windows; the second reaches the height of the
windows’ parapets, while the lowest row is laid upon the
beams, which support the terrace and the ceiling of the
ground-floor. The yard facades are coated with daub, which
still shows the traces of lime wash. They used to be white-
washed. The street stone façade was whitewashed without
being coated with mortar.
The yard, facing the East, with details like the
timber terrace in front of the house and the niches in the
wall, shows an authentic ambience of a courtyard in Velika
Ho~a.
Since the yard is sloping from the north towards the
south, the area in front of the house had to be levelled. The
house is accessed from the lower, southern side, by a stone
staircase. A barn used to be attached to the south side of the
house. It has been pulled down. Remains of an open fire-
place can be seen in the adobe wall to the west of the house,
towards the adjacent object. It was used for cooking and
heating of water for washing during summer.

wing, symmetrical in plan, has been preserved. Its ground-
floor houses a storage (andrak) for barrels and casks. The
storage used to be preceded by an open porch (ajat), which
was subsequently walled in. A large wooden door used to
open from the vestibule towards the storage. Through that
door hazel baskets with grapes were brought into the storage
and emptied into the casks. All the parts of the house can be
accessed from the porch: the staircase leads to the timber
terrace (~ardak) through which the rooms on the upper story
are entered. The corner of the upper story is occupied by the
guest-room, the furnishings of which indicate the good
reputation of its owner. A little iconostasis (ikonluk) on the
narrow partition wall by the door, the bathroom (amamd`ik),
closets in the wall (dolapi), closet for bed-clothes
(du{ekluk), a shelf for tableware set at a height of 1.8 m,
have been preserved.
The house was built of stone and adobe; the walls
are over 70 cm thick. It used to have stone-slate roofing. The
floor was made of beams covered with daub. The wooden
doors and door-posts are coffered and carved.
The photographs of priest Ilija Stoli} and his wife
Jovanka, taken in 1917, are preserved in the house.

DESCRIPTION
There used to be several towers in Velika Ho~a.
Only one of them has been preserved in Potok-mala, and it
is the property of Andrija Simi}.
There is no precise information about the time of its
construction. Krsta Simi}, the ancestor of the present owner,
a border ward who came to Velika Ho~a, bought it as a
residence for his family from some Albanized Serb from the
Filipovi} family, after Velika Ho~a had been liberated from
the Turks.
The tower is situated by the creek, with its main
façade facing the yard. It is rectangular in plan, and has a
ground-floor and and an upper story. It is accessed by two
doors with decorative, arched stone frames. An arched
window, also decorated with geometrical elements carved in
stone, can be seen on the same façade of the ground-floor.
Six such windows could be seen on the upper story of the
façade – all of them acting as loop-holes.
Each door leads to one of the wings, which were
also connected by a door. The right door leads to a lofty
kitchen with a fire-place against the outer wall, opposite the
door. A staircase leading to the upper story was also in the
kitchen. The kitchen of the left wing is accessed directly
from the outside, too. It also has a fire-place. The stable
housing all the cattle possessed by the family is entered
through the kitchen. For security reasons both doors can be
locked from the inside with a wooden bolt, which goes into
the socket in the stone wall.
A lofty timber terrace (~ardak) on the upper story
leads to the rooms. Apart from the rooms, the upper story
used to house a latrine (}enifa). The terrace has no ceiling, so
the massive, rough beams, ceiling joists and the rafters
making the construction of the hip roof are uncovered. The
rooms have ceilings made of interlocked wooden boards.

could be seen in the towers belonging to rich owners of this

DESKRIPCIJA
U Velikoj Ho~i nekada je bilo vi{e kula.
Danas postoji samo jedna u Potok-mali,
vlasni{tvo Andrije Simi}a.
Nema ta~nih podataka kada je kula gra|ena.
Predak sada{weg vlasnika, Krsta Simi}, koji je
kao grani~ar do{ao u Veliku Ho~u, otkupio je za
stanovawe svoje porodice od nekog arbanizovanog
Srbina iz porodice Filipovi}a nakon
oslobo|ewa Velike Ho~e od Turaka.
Kula je neposredno pored potoka, glavnom
fasadom okrenutom prema dvori{tu, pravougaone
je osnove sa prizemqem i spratom. Spoqa se u
kulu ulazi kroz dvoja vrata, sa lu~nim
dekorativno obra|enim kamenim nadvratnicima.
Na istoj fasadi u prizemqu je i prozor~i} lu~no
zasveden, tako|e ukra{en u kamenu urezanim
geometrijskim ornamentima. [est ovakvih
prozor~i}a postojalo je nekada i na spratu iste
fasade ku}e i svi su imali funkciju pu{karnica.
Svaka od ovih vrata vodila su u po jedno
krilo ku}e, me|usobno povezano vratima. Desna
vrata vode u veliku kuhiwu sa oyakom na
spoqnom, suprotnom zidu, i tu su sada stepenice
za sprat. Sa leve strane spoqa se najpre ulazi u
kuhiwu, u kojoj se tako|e nalazi oyak, a iz we u

poseduje. Radi za{tite, i jedna i druga vrata se sa
unutra{we strane zatvaraju {uqem, drvenom
pre~kom koja se uvla~i u kameni zid.
Na spratu je prostrani ~ardak, iz koga se
odlazi u sobe. Pored soba na spratu se nekada
nalazila i }enifa. Tavanice u ~ardaku nema, te se
vide masivne nepravilne pritesane grede,

The Serai, view from

might prove that it was built before the 19th century. The
inhabitants of Velika Ho~a recollect that it was built by
Effendi Shane the owner of the feudal property in Velika
Ho~a, for his own needs. He was a Serb by origin and his
Christian name was Du{an. The building used to house the
seat of the Municipality of Velika Ho~a since the liberation
from the Ottoman rule, until the World War II. Downhill the
Serai a clock tower could be seen until the beginning of the
20th century, while several tenants’ houses stood there until
the 1960’s. In this case the name Serai was derived from the
local word designating a manor.
The Serai is rather big, single-storied edifice, built
of stone braced by bond-timbers (santa~i, atule). The main
part of the upper-story façade is, however, timber-framed –
the frame is filled with adobe. Hip roof with overhanging
eaves is covered with plain terracotta roofing tiles. The Serai
is irregular in plan, without the porch or the timber terrace.
The inner space is well articulated.

The house was built on the sloping terrain, which
determined the disposition of the rooms. The ground-floor
was occupied by rooms used in domestic economy and
agricultural affairs, while the residential part was on the
upper-story. The house is almost square in plan. The ground-
floor and the larger part of the upper story are built of stone
braced with bond-timbers (atule) set in almost regular
intervals. The left wing, facing the street, with the entrance,
is timber-framed – the frame is filled with adobe. Hip roof is
covered with stone slates.
The main entrance, on the left side of the object,
leads to a corridor opening towards the kitchen and the
rooms. Many traditional architectural details can still be seen
in the house. The original windows, the size and design of
which were determined by the building material of the walls
and the function of the rooms, should be pointed out.
Charming and decorative effect of the building was stressed
by the colour of its whitewashed wattle-and-daub walls. The
walls built of stone were not coated with mortar.
The winery of this family was not within the house
lot; it was situated in the other quarter of Velika Ho~a.
The other houses in the quarter, belonging to the
Mici} family have been preserved. On a small square,
downhill from the house, a well, used by all the members of

DESCRIPTION
The winery and the Lodgings (konak) of Ljubomir
Patrnogi}, a banker from Prizren, the monumental complex
of extraordinary value, which shows the skills of local
masons and testifies of rich, century-long winery tradition,
has been preserved in Dola{evi} mahala (Dola{evi} quarter)
in Velika Ho~a.
By the surface it covers, the winery is one of the
biggest edifices in Velika Ho~a. It is rectangular in plan.
Being the central object, it covers the largest area of the
house lot and dictates the position of other buildings.
According to the condition in which it was found,
the winery had two levels: the lower, where large barrels,
which could store up to a hundred loads of grapes, were kept,
and the elevated one, where barrels with wine were stored,
along with tools and equipment for production of wine.
The edifice has been housing the rooms serving
purposes other than manufacturing of wine. The front of the
right wing was occupied by a kitchen with an open fire-
place, behind which was a porch preceding the residental
unit consisting of a room. Three sides of the winery were

DESKRIPCIJA
U mahali Dola{evi}a u Velikoj Ho~i
sa~uvana je izuzetno vredna spomeni~ka celina
kojom se iskazuju sva ume{nost narodnih
graditeqa ovog podnebqa i bogata vi{evekovna
vinarska tradicija - vinica sa konakom
prizrenskog bankara Qubomira Patrnogi}a.
Vinica je po povr{ini jedan od najve}ih
objekata u Velikoj Ho~i. Pravougaone je osnove.
Kao centralni objekat, zauzima najve}i deo
oku}nice, odre|uju}i polo`aj ostalih zgrada.
Prema zate~enom stawu vinica je imala
dva nivoa: ni`i, u kome su bile velike ba~ve koje
su mogle da prime i po sto tovara gro`|a, i vi{i,
gde su stajala burad sa vinom i potrebne alatke i
pribor za proizvodwu vina.
U zgradi su bile i prostorije druge
namene. U desnom krilu sa predwe strane
nalazila se kuhiwa sa otvorenim ogwi{tem, iza
we otvoren trem ispred stambene jedinice - sobe.

built of stone, braced by bond-timbers (atule). The lowest
zone of the fourth side – from the level of basement to the
floor level, i.e. the level of the terrain, was built of stone. The
remaining part of the wall was built of adobe braced by
bond-timbers. The roof construction is massive, made of
chestnut, supported by chestnut posts. A row of posts
supporting the ridge is set on a wall, slightly elevated from
the floor of the working area. They are connected by double
beams and transverse wooden imposts. The roof is covered
with stone slates. Massive wooden double-door leads to the
winery. There was a well in front of the winery.
The Lodgings was used as a summer residence of
the Patrnogi} family. It is situated by the street, opposite the
winery. The front side of the house is facing the yard. Left
part of the upper story is occupied by a dwelling room. Lofty
timber terrace (~ardak) in front of the room is supported by
cantilevers. Another dwelling room can be seen in the
ground-floor. The right wing, as an integral part undivided
by floor construction, acts a storage for stock-feed
(plemnja).
The house was built of stone and adobe. It used to
have stone-slate roofing, but it is presently covered with
double-through roofing tiles. The original appearance of the
interior has been preserved: ceiling made of interlocked
wooden boards, wooden floors in the upper story and earthen
ones in the ground floor, old doors, windows with grates,
The well in the yard
closets for tableware and a closet for bed-clothes (du{ekluk).
Old beds, paintings, chairs, tableware and trunks have also
been preserved.
The complex encompasses a brandy distillery, and
a well with windlass. The neighboring lot, which used to
house farm buildings, also belongs to the Patronogi} family.
The courtyard (dvor) has separate entrances for pedestrians
and vehicles: “kapid`ik”, the pedestrian entrance, and
“porta”, gate for vehicles. Shallow relief in stone above the
pedestrian entrance attracts the attention of the passers-by. A
latrine (}enifa) is situated to the left of the gate.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The objects have been out of use for years.
Electrical installations have been out of order and there is no
electricity in either of the objects.
The street façade of the house shows traces of daub
and fragments of lime mortar. The mortar on the yard façade
is less damaged. The rooms on the ground-floor and the
upper storey have been coated with mortar and white-
washed.
The wooden fence of the terrace, made of vertical
planks, is warped and the wood is dry and brittle. Wooden
beam above cantilevers, which support the terrace, is
deformed, while the stairs and their fence are ruinous. The
wooden floors in the house are dry and occasionally
deformed.
All the joinery is worn out. The door of the
dwelling room in the ground-floor and that of the storage for
stock-feed should be replaced, since they are inadequate.
Parts of the roof construction of the winery, its
roofing and a part of the gable facing the adjacent yard are
torn down. The storage for the barrels is partly chocked up.
The object is dilapidated and it is used as a repository of old
things. The edifice used to be coated with mortar and white-
washed, which can still be seen on the yard façade.
The door of the winery is ruinous and it cannot be
closed. The ancillary rooms of the winery are also
dilapidated.
A part of the roof of the distillery is covered with
stone slates, while on the rest of it double-through roofing
tiles were used. Only the frame of the door can be seen – the
wings are missing. The earthen floor is covered with straw
and maize-stalks.
At the moment distillery is used as a stable.

Recommended Measures of Technical Protection
All the joinery of the Lodgings i.e. doors and
windows, should be restored. A part of vertical wooden
fence of the terrace should be repaired. Certain parts of the
floors need to be replaced, after which a finish should be
applied. The staircase leading to the timber terrace needs to
be thoroughly restored. Present roofing should be replaced
with plain terracotta roofing tiles. Daub coating should be
applied to all the facades, after which they should be white-
washed.
All the ruinous walls of the winery should be rebuilt
in stone. The roof should be restored and covered with stone
slates. The dwelling room should be provided with a new
ceiling made of interlocked wooden boards. The old fire-
place in the kitchen should be replaced with a new one.
The distillery should be provided with a new still
for brandy and an open fire-place.
The yard demands cleaning from rubble and weed.
All the paths in the area around the object should be paved.
The latrine demands thorough restoration.

DESCRIPTION
The village of Gora`devac is situated on the right
bank of Pe}ka Bistrica, to the southeast of Pe}, the old city
in Metohija. The first record of the village can be found in
medieval sources. In the charter granted by Stephen
Prvoven~ani to the monastery of @i~a around 1220, it
appears as Gora`da Vas. The settlement named Goro`devci
was recorded in the Turkish census from 1485. According to
that source the village consisted of 28 Serbs’ houses,
including the one belonging to “priest Nikola”. The names of
Serb contributors from Gora`devac were recorded in
Katastihos of Devi~ in 1765 and 1772.
According to the dating of the Royal Doors of the
iconostasis, the cottage church dedicated to St Jeremiah was
built at the end of the 16th or at the beginning of the 17
th
century. According to the tradition, it was built by Srbljaks
(Srbljaci). That term was used to designate the population
originating from the regions up the river of Lim, inhabiting
Metohija since 1737 and 1738. If the tradition got proved to
be authentic, the church would have to be dated in the first
half of the 18th century.

architecture of cottage churches, paid special interest to the

ra`devac. He showed
that it was a non-
typical example of this
building type since it
appears in the region
in which cottage
churches usually were
not constructed.
It is a small
building, with the
floor partly under the
level of the ground.
The height of the
church, from the floor
to the ceiling beams,
does not exceed 1.7m. It is rectangular in plan, with the
sanctuary wall broken into two planes (“na rogalj”). Strong
construction of wooden beams put on foundations made of
rubble, bears oak plank siding. The planks are intersected at
the corners. That type of joint where an intersection is
marked by a line is usually calledseam. The construction of
the roof is very simple. Thick network of chestnut-tree
rafters supports irregular and heavy stone-slate roofing. The
eaves are overhanging. Small south and western doors are
arched.
An iconostasis divides the interior into two units.
Since the sanctuary is shallow, the altar is positioned against
the wall, in the corner. The iconostasis is simple, with
shelves supporting the icons. Simple carved ornaments
(rope-wreath, rosettes) can be seen in the central arcuated
part around the Royal Doors. A few apertures were carved in
the plank siding of the sanctuary. Two of them should be
pointed out: one featuring cross, the other representing six-
leaved rosette.
Numerous tombstones can be seen around the
church.
Old icons, books, and liturgical vessels, once
belonging to the cottage church, are now stored in the new
church in Gora`devac, erected in 1926 and dedicated to the
Veil of the Holy Virgin. According to data published in the
Kosovo Endowments, copper paten of a hieromonach from
De~ani, Vasilije, dating from 1746, used to be possessed by
the church in Gora`devac. The Royal Doors were taken
away during 1970’s. No further information about them can
be provided. The church was put under protection of law by
the Resolution of Regional Institute for the Protection of
Cultural Monuments in Pri{tina No 02-240/58, issued on
April 16, 1958. With regard to the fact that it has been the
only cottage church in this region it was categorized as
cultural monument of extraordinary importance (Slu`beni
glasnik RS 16, issued in December 3, 1990).

oltarskim delom
prelomqenim u
dve ravni (na rogaq). Ja~a atula polo`ena na
temeqe od lomqenog kamena nosi zidove od
horizontalno naslaganih hrastovih talpi. Na
uglovima se talpe preklapaju sa velikim
ispadima i taj na~in preklapawa na ~ert ovde se
naziva u{avci. Krovna konstrukcija je vrlo
jednostavna. Zbog nepravilnosti i te`ine krovnog
pokriva~a od kamenih plo~a, rogovi od
kestenovine su gusto polo`eni. Streha je {iroka.
Vrata sa ju`ne i zapadne strane su mala i
zasvedena.
Oltarska pregrada deli unutra{wi
prostor na dva dela. Usled male dubine oltarskog
prostora, ~asna trpeza je priqubqena uza zid, na
prelomu dve ravne povr{ine. Oltarska pregrada je
jednostavna, sa policama za postavqawe ikona.
Jednostavni drveni ukrasi (tordirani venac,
rozete) nalaze se na sredi{wem, zasvedenom delu
oko carskih dveri. U talpama, u oltarskom delu,
izrezani su otvori za prolazak svetlosti.
Posebno su lepo obra|ena dva, sa motivom krsta
i {estolisne rozete.
Pored crkve se sada nalazi vi{e starih
nadgrobnih spomenika.
Stare ikone, kwige i sasude iz gora`-
deva~ke brvnare ~uvaju se u novoj gora`deva~koj
crkvi Pokrova presvete Bogorodice, sagra|enoj
1926. godine. Prema navodima u Zadu`binama
Kosova, u crkvi je postojao bakarni diskos
de~anskog jeromonaha Vasilija iz 1746. godine,
poklon manastira De~ana. Carske dveri su odnete
iz crkve sedamdesetih godina i danas se ne zna gde
su.

The church has been repaired on several occasions.
In 1968 an extensive sanation and conservation campaign
was undertaken. In 1997 the roof was covered with new
stone slates.

DESCRIPTION
Bayrakli mosque is situated in the core of the city
market-place (~ar{ija). Although the precise date of its
construction has not been recorded, it is believed that the
mosque must have been built immediately after the Turkish
conquest, in the 15th or not later then the 16
th century. At that
time Pe} had already become a rather big city and an
important administrative centre. It is considered to be the
chief mosque in the city, since the hoisting of the flag on its
minaret marks the beginning of the prayer in the other
mosques.
The mosque was designed upon standard scheme
adopted for the islamic sacral objects. It consists of a high
porch covered with three domes, and a lofty central domed
unit (the diameter of the dome reaches 11.65 m). The
mosque is 13.5 metres high (up to the apex of the dome). The
gallery (mahvil), above the entrance, has lavishly decorated
fence. A minaret was attached to the main corpus of the
building.
The interor of the central unit is decorated with
mural paintings, while the vaults are adorned with floral
motives. All the elements necessary for the ritual have been
preserved: a shallow niche of mihrab, and a conspicuous

History and the description of the monastery
The main church in the monastery is dedicated to
Holy Apostles and due to that this monastic settlement is
referred to, in some historic sources, as the “House of Holy
Apostles”. It was built upon remains of an old church that
can be hypothetically identified with the church of “Sveti
Petar pod @drelom” (St Peter at the foot of the mountain of
@drelo), mentioned in the sources. According to some later
sources, the church of Holy Apostles was built in the time of
archbishop Sava I, by his order, which was executed by his
successor at the archbishop’s seat, Arsenije, while he was
still the ecclesiarch of the church of St Savior in @i~a.
According to the same source, the construction of the church
was finished by 1235 AD. It was planned to be the
mausoleum of the Serbian prelates.
During the 14th century the church of Holy
Apostles was flanked by two churches, replacing the original
parecclesia: St Demetruis attached to the north, and the
Virgin Hodegetria attached to its south side. Contemporary
to the church of the Virgin Hodegetria are the narthex,
occupying the front of all three churches, and the small
chapel of St Nicholas. In the same time the seat of the head
of Serbian autocephalous church (which remained in the
rank of the archbishopric by the middle of the 14th century,
when it became the patriarchate) was transferred to this
monastery.
The churches of the Patriarchate of Pe} have been
severely damaged several times during their history. The
earliest damages coincide with the first military mission of
th century, the subsequent ones
the Turks, at the end of the 14
with the new run that took place less than a century later. In
the second half of the 16th century, Patriarch Makarije took
over serious restoration interventions on the churches and

Istorija i opis manastirske celine
Glavna manastirska crkva posve}ena je
Svetim apostolima: po woj se u nekim
istorijskim izvorima ta mona{ka naseobina
naziva Dom Svetih apostola. Podignuta je na
starijoj crkvenoj gra|evini, za koju se
pretpostavqa da je Sveti Petar pod @drelom,
poznat iz istorijskih izvora. Prema nekim poznim
istorijskim izvorima, crkva Svetih apostola
sagra|ena je u vreme arhiepiskopa Save I, i po
wegovom nalogu, koji je izvr{io wegov naslednik
na arhiepiskopskom polo`aju Arsenije dok je bio
eklisijarh `i~ke Spasove crkve. Prema toj vesti,
crkva je sagra|ena do 1235. godine. Podignuta je sa
mi{qu da bude mauzolej srpskih crkvenih prelata.
Uz bokove Svetih apostola izgra|ene su u
XIV veku dve crkve na mestu starijih paraklisa:
Sveti Dimitrije na severnoj i Sveta Bogorodice
na ju`noj strani. Istovremeno sa Bogorodi~inom
crkvom izgra|ene su priprata, zajedni~ka za sve
tri crkve, i kapela Svetog Nikole. U vreme ovih
pro{irewa, uz hram Svetih apostola bilo je
preneto sedi{te poglavara srpske autokefalne
crkve, koje je ostalo u rangu arhiepiskopije do
sredine stole}a kada je uzdignuto u rang
patrijar{ije.
Crkve Pe}ke patrijar{ije su vi{e puta
tokom svoje istorije pretrpele velika o{te}ewa.
Stradale su ve} u prvom naletu Turaka krajem XIV

partly destroyed narthex. Wide arcades on the façade of the
narthex were walled in; ruined vaults were rebuilt. Because
of certain major damages, the eastern part of the north façade
of the church of St Demetrius had to be rebuilt during the
17th century. The chapel dedicated to St Nicholas was also
rebuilt during the 17th century.
The inner walls of the churches of the Patriarchate
of Pe} monastery were covered with fresco decoration,
which is preserved in considerable extent. The frescoes were
painted in different epochs, so that the whole history of the
Serbian medieval wall painting can be seen on the walls of
these churches. Owing to the efforts of archbishop Arsenije,
the church of Holy Apostles got its fresco decoration around
1260. Subsequent works on its frescoes took place in 1300,
around 1350, c. 1375, and, on two occasions, in the 17 th
century. The church of St Demetrius was decorated in the
time of Patriarch Joanikije, in 1345, while a new layer of
frescoes was painted by Georgije Mitrofanovi} in 1619/20.
The church of the Virgin Hodegetria got its frescoes before
1337, the narthex was decorated in the 14th and 16th
centuries, while the frescoes in St Nicholas chapel were
painted by Radul in 1673/74.
The churches of the monastery of the Patriarchate
of Pe} reached the time of liberation from the Ottoman rule
in very bad condition. Minor restoration work including only
necesary repairs took place in 1920, while the detailed
reconstruction, structural consolidation and restoration of its
original appearance was done as late as 1931 and 1932, by
architect \ur|e Bo{kovi}. Subsequent conservation and
restoration works in 1960 and 1981-84 were conducted by
architect Milka ^anak-Medi}, PhD.
Archaeological excavations in the wider area
around the church were performed in the period between
1964 and 1972 (R. Findrik, B. Vulovi}), and the remains of
secular buildings that were then found underwent
conservation treatment, so that they could remain visible,
above the ground.
Latter-day residential buildings on the west side
and in the northwest corner of the enclosure also belong to
the monastery. The oldest among them was erected in 1850.
Only three years before that a water mill was built against
the perimeter wall, on the same side, somewhat more to the
south. In 1895 archimandrite Sofronije Simi} had a large
dormitory with beautiful façade built. Both dormitories and
the water-mill were destroyed in the fire in 1981. All the
other residential buildings – with the exception of the
northwest dormitory built in the period between 1975 and
1980, on the site where an earlier dormitory existed – were
built in 1982 in order to replace those destroyed in the
above-mentioned fire. In the same time both dormitories
dating from the 19th century were restored. All that work was
done after the project of the architect Marija Radan-Jovin.

importance of the monastery, which it got owing to these
circumstances, made it a subject of investigation and
research very early. The greatest contribution to our
knowledge about the churches of the Patriarchate of Pe} was
the research of \ur|e Bo{kovi}, which took place in 1931
and 1932. Many studies about particular topics concerning
history, architecture and painting of these churches have
been written, and all the important matters concerning these
monuments of art were discussed on a conference organized
in 1987. Conference proceedings were published in their
integral version. A comprehensive monograph about history,
architecture and painting of the churches of the Patriarchate
of Pe} was also published, while the complete
documentation about the research of their architecture was
published as a part of the Corpus of sacral edifices in
medieval Serbia. The idea about rate and level of
investigation one can get from the bibliography published in
the above-mentioned corpus. It is organized chronologically,
so that complete development of the investigation can be
seen.

Condition of the roads leading to the monastery
The monastery is situated on the left bank of the
River Bistrica, downhill from the road Pe}-^akor-

There is no parking lot near the monastery. The monastery
has constant supply of the running water and electricity.
An earlier regional planning project suggested the
removing of the road to the right bank of the Bistrica River,
in order to avoid the impact of the vibrations, dust and petrol
fumes caused by heavy traffic, on the churches and their
frescoes. According to the spatial regulation project of the
monastery’s immediate surroundings, the pathways from the
direction of Pe} and Rugova and a parking lot should have
been made, while the areas in front of the monastery and
behind it should have been articulated. The project has never
been carried out.

Problems concerning the structure of the buildings Strukturni problemi gra|evina

Several times in their history the churches of the
Patriarchate of Pe} monastery undrwent extensive repairs,
and their upper parts had to be supported by inbuilt
buttresses. The narthex was exposed to the most serious
interventions, since by the middle of the 16th century its
northern part was considerably destroyed and complete vault
construction was ruined. At that time its western wall was
inclined outwards and prone to collapse. During the

Condition of the churches
There are many cracks in the walls of all the
churches of the Patriarchate of Pe}, which were already
recorded. The most of them appeared in the places where
parts built in different epochs meet, due to weak cohesion
and the lack of firm constructive joint.
In the church of St Demetrius,demarcation (plaster
slabs) put during previous restorations on the north and west
walls, shows that big cracks are stable. Mortar put on the
joint of the original north wall of the church and that built in
the 17th century proves that there were no disturbances of the
construction since 1930. There are, however radial cracks in
the conch of the apse that should be investigated and
monitored.
Almost complete construction of the Holy Apostles
is stable. A crack on the outer wall of the altar apse above the
central window, which reaches the cornice, has already been
recorded. It was examined by demarcation of plaster slabs,
which showed that the crack was still “working”. The later
demarcation showed no changes, while the examination of
the frescoes in the interior proved that there were cracks on
the conch but that none of them was new. The wall of the
apse must have moved after big layer of deposit and support
for barrel roofing tiles, found under roof covering in 1982,
had been removed. After the intervention, the crack has been
stable.
There are many already recorded cracks in the
church of the Virgin Hodegetria, too, but in the places on
which the mortar put during the restoration treatment of
1930/1931 is attached the cohesion is good and there have
been no sings that the cracks are “working”. Demarcation

Stawe crkvenih gra|evina
Na svim crkvama Pe}ke patrijar{ije
postoje mnoge pukotine, konstatovane ve} ranijih
godina. Naj~e{}e su nastale na spoju delova iz
razli~itih epoha, jer izme|u wih nije ostvarena
dobra kohezija i gra|evinska veza.
U crkvi Svetog Dimitrija, ranije
postavqene markacije ( gipsane plo~ice) na
severnom i zapadnom zidu pokazuju da su jake
pukotine stabilne, a po ranije postavqenom
malteru na spoju originalnog severnog zida iste
crkve i dozidanog dela iz XVII veka vidi se da ni
na tom mestu nije bilo pomerawa konstrukcije od
1930. godine. U Svetom Dimitriju postoje,
me|utim, radijalne pukotine na konhi apside, koje
bi trebalo ispitivati i pratiti.
U crkvi Svetih apostola gotovo sva
konstrukcija je stabilna. Ve} ranije je prime}ena
pukotina na spoqnoj strani oltarske apside iznad
sredi{nog prozora, koja se pru`a sve do
podstre{nog venca. Ona je ispitivana
postavqenom gipsanom markacijom, koja je
pokazala da ta pukotina radi. Na slede}oj,
poznijoj markaciji, promena nema, a pregledom
stawa fresaka u unutra{wosti utvr|eno je da na
konhi postoje pukotine, ali da nisu nove. Do
pomerawa zida apside do{lo je verovatno posle
skidawa visokog nasipa i podloge za kanalice,
na|ene ispod krovnog pokriva~a u vreme radova
1982. godine. Posle tih radova pukotina je
stabilna.
U Bogorodi~inoj crkvi postoji isto tako
ve}i broj starih pukotina, a tamo gde uz wih
priawa malter postavqen tokom restauratorskih
radova 1930/1931, kohezija izme|u wih je dobra i
nema nagove{taja da pukotine rade.Tako na zidu

where the sarcophagus of Patriarch Maksim is positioned
against its outer side, is damp, which is probably caused by
rainwater detaining in the manhole beside the patriarch’s
grave.
The narthex was thoroughly investigated, with
special regard to the fact that the first disturbances in the
structure of its walls appeared as early as the th 16century,
when it was ruined, and that remains of the original walls
and those parts built during the restoration in theth16
century have never been properly bound together. There are
cracks throughout that joint. They are recorded in the north
half of the western façade: the one on the lintel of the portal,
spreading to the wall above it, the one by the next pilaster to
the north, and that one close to the pillar in the northwest
corner. Those cracks appeared after the restoration treatment
of 1930/1931, they existed during the eight decade of the
20th century, and they can be seen on the photos from that
time. Cracks are also recorded on the north wall beside the
corner pillar, and in addition to that, a slight deformation of
the pavement and cracks on one of the pavement slabs near
it were noticed. It suggests that all those cracks might be the
result of slight settlement of the above-mentioned pillar. The
above-mentioned fillings in the frescoes of the northwest
corner in the interior prove that any moving of the walls was
eliminated after 1997. Increased humidity is recorded in the
lower zones of the north wall of the narthex. Dark stains
were also recorded on the north façade of the church of St
Demetrius, where wet stone was a ground for the growth of
microorganisms. It is possible that they spread due to
hygroscopic salts existing in that zone since the time when
the outer walls of the church were covered with deposit up
to one meter in height. That layer of deposit was removed
during the restoration treatment in 1930/1931. It is also
possible that the increased humidity was caused by
rainwater.
Dark stains caused by microorganisms were
recorded on wet stone near the ground in several places on
the outer side of the north wall, since it hasn’t been enough
exposed to sun. That part of the wall should be treated with
fungicides and hydrophobes. Such dark stains can also be
noticed in the lowest part of the south wall of the church of
the Virgin Hodegetria, below the gutter. Plants growing from
the gutter suggest that it is filled with deposit. Since the
drain-pipe is also obturated, the water overflows, leaving the
trace on the façade. The cleaning of both, gutter and the
drain-pipe, is necessary.
The lead plating of the roof was thoroughly
examined. Since adhesive power of mortar fixing lead plates
decreased, vertical parts of the plating detached for a few
millimetres from the wall. Those mortar joints should be
fixed with adequately toned mortar. Adhesive power of
silicone isolation put in folds in the valleys has also
decreased, which should also be fixed.

pokazuje da je pukotina stabilna. Jedino je
prime}ena gusta mre`a uspravnih sitnih pukotina
na severozapadnom stupcu pod kupolom, koje su
mo`da posledica slegawa. Na ju`nom zidu, na
mestu gde je spoqa sarkofag patrijarha Maksima,
ima vlage u najni`em pojasu. Verovatno je
posledica skupqawa padavina u {ahtu uz grobnicu
patrijarha Maksima.
Priprata je podrobno ispitana, naro~ito
stoga {to su se na wenim zidovima ve} prilikom

{to se delovi dogra|eni u toku wene obnove u

pukotina, po~ev od pukotine na arhitravu portala
i na delu iznad wega, zatim uz slede}i pilastar

pukotine postoje i na severnoj strani, a zapa`aju

severnog zida priprate, a tamne mrqe na fasadama
postoje i na severnom zidu crkve Svetog
Dimitrija, gde su se na vla`noj kamenoj podlozi
razmno`ili mikroorganizmi. Postoji mogu}nost
da su oni posledica higroskopnih soli u tom
pojasu, preostalih iz vremena kada je crkva spoqa
bila zasuta zemqom preko jedan metar, sve dok
nasip nije uklowen tokom radova 1930/1931. Isto
je tako mogu}e da usled otprskavawa ki{e u tom

Spoqa su se na vi{e mesta na severnoj
strani pri tlu pojavile iste takve tamne mrqe od
mikroorganizama na vla`nom kamenu u tom
nedovoqno osun~anom delu crkve. Potrebno je
fungicidirati i hidrofobirati taj deo. Sli~ne
tamne mrqe postoje i pri dnu ju`nog zida
Bogorodi~ine crkve, ispod horizontalnog oluka.
Iz oluka se vidi neko rastiwe, {to govori da je

Other observations.In the meantime, some minor
repairs of the pavement joints in front of the church of the
Virgin Hodegetria were done. A few fresco fillings were
applied in the apse of the church of Holy Apostles. They
were made of grey mortar and they are in contrast with the
rest of the wall and the pavement. On the same occasion,
some repairs were done on the retaining wall to the north.
These fillings are inadequate and too conspicuous.
Recommended conservation treatment
of the architecture of the churches
The survey shows that the condition of the churches
has not changed since the war in the Province of Kosovo and
Metohija broke out. The recommended measures imply
regular maintenance of the buildings and their roofs:
1. All the parts of the façade on which
microorganisms have spread demand cleaning and treatment
with fungicides. The lowest zone of all the facades,
especially that to the north, should be then treated with some
hydrophobe in order to prevent the penetration of humidity
caused by rebound rainwater. The use of Wacker 280 (after
the instructions from manufacturer’s manual) is
recommended for it has shown good results.
2. All the damaged joints between the wall and
vertical parts of plating should be fixed with adequately
toned mortar. Folds in valleys demand new silicone
isolation, for the old one cannot stop penetration of water
coming from the melting snow that during winter piles up in
the valleys.
3. Gutters and drain-pipes on the south side of the
church of the Virgin Hodegetria demand cleaning, while all
the other gutters need to be examined and, if it is necessary,
unclogged.
4. All the drainage channels around the churches
should be cleaned, as well as the sewers directing water
towards nearby pit. Iron grids covering the channels should
be painted.
5. Minor fillings of toned mortar and adequate
material (rubble, limestone, brick) should be applied to
churches’ façades. Retaining wall attached to the north side
of the church of St Demetrius needs to be repaired.
Condition of the frescoes and recommended
measures of their protection
The Church of Holy Apostles
The frescoes cover about 570 m 2 of the church’s
walls, and, generally speaking, they are in good condition. It
is, however, feared that the frescoes in the altar apse might
be damaged, since a crack starting from the middle window

Predlog konzervatorskih mera na arhitekturi
crkava
Iz pregleda stawa crkava se moglo videti
da na wima nema promena u odnosu na stawe pre
izbijawa rata na Kosovu i Metohiji. Mere koje bi
trebalo preduzeti spadaju u redovno odr`avawe
gra|evina i wihovog krovnog pokriva~a i one su
slede}e:
1. Neophodno je o~istititi sve fasadene
povr{ine na kojima se pojavila mikroflora i
potom ih fungicidirati. Najni`i pojas svih
fasadnih povr{ina, a naro~ito na severnoj
strani, potrebno je posle toga obraditi nekim
hidrofobnim sredstvom, da bi se spre~ilo
prodirawe vlage od otprskavawa vode. Zbog
postignutih dobrih rezultata preporu~uje se
kori{}ewe Wacker 280, prema uputstvu
proizvo|a~a.
2. Neophodno je popraviti sve o{te}ene
spojeve vertikalnog dela iksni, sa zidovima uz
koje nale`u, odgovaraju}im toniranim malterom.
Potrebno je ponovo obezbediti nekim
silikonskim preparatom preklope na uvalama, jer
se u wima zimi du`e zadr`ava sneg, pa kada se
odozdo topi podliva na preklopima.
3. Potrebno je o~istiti horizontalni i
vertikalni oluk na ju`noj strani Bogorodi~ine
crkve i pregledati sve ostale pa, ako je potrebno,
i wih pro~istiti.
4. O~istiti sve kanale oko crkve i
odvodne cevi koje iz wih sprovode vodu u obli`wi
jaz, kao i `elezne re{etke sa kanala i prebojiti.
5. Izvr{iti sitnija plombirawa fasadnih
povr{ina crkava toniranim malterom i
odgovaraju}im gradivom (lomqeni kamen, siga,
opeke). Popraviti potporni zid sa severne
strane crkve Svetog Dimitrija.

The narthex of Danilo II, frecoes in the
southeastern part of the church
in the apse and reaching the eaves was recorded. It can be a
sign of the existence of some serious disturbances in the
walls’ structure, which could cause the delamination of the
mortar making the ground for frescoes. Little damage on
Christ’s robe, a white spot by his knee, could have lead to
such a supposition.
The other frescoes were inspected in the extent it
was possible to do without scaffolding. No serious damages
were recorded. Some parts of the frescoes are covered with
layers of solidified dust covering in strips the images of the
saints. There are indications that certain parts of fresco
decoration demand closer examination since the
conservation treatment of the frescoes in the church of Holy
Apostles was done long time ago. It is especially important
when depth damages are concerned, as well as lesser
damages that cannot be perceived from a bigger distance.
Only a thorough investigation of all the parts of fresco
decoration could lead to an objective assessment of its
condition.
The Church of St Demetrius
Fresco decoration covers about 300 m 2 of the
church’s walls. The most serious damages are concentrated
on the frescoes covering the north wall – above the socle, up
to 2 m in height. Those damages are not new, and they are
the result of permanent and long-lasting destructive
processes. Inadequate and superficial restoration contributes
to this unfavourable scene. In addition to that, poor condition
of some frescoes in the dome and its drum, indicated by
whitish spots on the places of missing parts and damages,
should be pointed out. The fresco decoration of the sanctuary
is almost completely deteriorated, especially in its north
side, in the small niche – prothesis. The layer of fresh paint
of inadequate tone dominates it, making an awkward
impression. Complete fresco decoration is covered with
layers of dirt coming from the atmosphere and materials
brought by water that used to penetrate through the wall,

Fresco decoration of the church of St Demetrius demands
thorough investigation. The areas in the western part of the
church that were preventively protected during previous
restorations need further interventions.
The Church of the Virgin Hodegetria
2 of the walls.
The frescoes cover about 460 m
Visual inspection and comparison with previous
conservation reports about painting lead to the conclusion
that the most complicated damages in the fresco decoration
of the Patriarchate of Pe} are located in the sanctuary of the
church of the Virgin Hodegetria, and that they are the result
of permanent exposure to destructive processes. A part of
fresco decoration was preventively protected, but
insufficient funds and search for adequate solutions
postponed the accomplishment of the conservation treatment
for a long term. Big cracks and unlevelled walls, which can
be observed under protective strips, prove that the
deteriorations are caused by damages in the depth of the wall
structure. In addition to that, the adhesive power of the glue
that was used to fix the protective strips decreased, which
makes the examination of that part of the church urgent.
Many parts of fresco decoration show partial damages of the
structures. The existence of atmosphere deposit, dirt and
soot, as well as materials brought by water penetrating
through the wall structure, dissolved and brought to the
surface of frescoes, to which it stuck due to process of
repeated wetting and drying, must be pointed out. The
conservation treatment of the frescoes needs to be continued
in a planned and systematic manner . In several places the
increased humidity of the fresco layers and mortar was
recorded, and it was also noticed in the socle of the south
wall of the church. Since the outer side of the wall’s
foundation is attached to the crypt, the causes of the
increased humidity are complex: on one hand it is caused by
inadequate drainage, on the other by incorporation of the

ura|ena preventivna za{tita, ali nedostatak

odgovaraju|ih re{ewa, odlo`ili su konzerva-
torsku realizaciju na du`e vreme. O{te}ewa su
nastala u dubinskim delovima struktura. Na to
ukazuju i veoma velike pukotine i denivelacija
delova, koje se mogu videti ispod za{titnih
flastera. Tako|e, vaqanost lepka koji je
upotrebqen za ovaj vid privremene za{tite
sigurno je opala, te je neophodno hitno pregledati
taj deo hrama i konstatovati ~iweni~no stawe. Na
mnogo delova zidnih slika vide se parcijalna
o{te}ewa struktura. Upadqiva je pojava
natalo`enih ~estica prqav{tina i ~a|i iz

hygroscopic salts into the wall’s structure - since mural
paintings can transmit capillary humidity well.
The narthex of Archbishop Danilo II
Fresco decoration covers about 550 m 2 of the walls.
The greatest part of the restoration works done during past
ten years in the monastery was done in this part of the
complex. It was so due to serious damages caused by recent
earthquakes. Although the greatest part of the frescoes
underwent conservation treatment, big cracks can still be
seen on the west and north walls of the western bay of the
narthex. The damages caused by disturbances in different
parts of the walls can also be observed on the façade. The
fresco decoration in the south part of the western bay has not
been subject to conservation treatment so far. Only some
parts of the frescoes got temporary gauze protection strips.
Efflorescence, calcic salts and other deposited materials that
cover and in some places hide the images, can be seen on the
surface of some parts of the fresco decoration. Frescoes in
the northwest part of the narthex are in good condition,
without recent damages. Fixed cracks are stable, showing no
subsequent setting apart.
The contrast between the restored parts and the rest
of the fresco decoration stresses the need to finish the
restoration works in that part of the complex.
The Church f St Nicholas
The fresco decoration of the church underwent
conservation treatment in 1980/1981. It is in good condition.
Systematic and thorough examination of the complete fresco
decoration is necessary, since it is the only way to get exact
and full knowledge about it.

iconostasis were already treated, thorough examination is
necessary. Disinsectization must follow the investigation and
the analyses. Wooden parts of the throne of the Miraculous
Virgin in the church of the Virgin Hodegetria, made in 1863,
also show traces of the activity of xylophagae, the worm-
holes. Since such insects procreate and move fast, one can
expect them to spread to the other parts of the iconostasis
and the mobiliary sculpture. Their condition can be thus
described as “seriously endangered”.

DESCRIPTION
Tahir-bay’s Lodgings is a nice example of
functionally organized city house of asymmetric type. It was
built around 1880. The house consists of a ground-floor and
the upper story.
One wing of the ground-floor used to house stores
and stables, while the rooms for the servants occupied the
other. The upper story houses several chambers: the
smoking-room enclosed in an oriel (divan), the upper
vestibule with the staircase, three rooms (two bedrooms and
a working room), and a kitchen. With the exception of the
kitchen, all the chambers have wood-carved ceilings. The
rooms are equipped with closets, within the wall, in which
bed-clothes and other household-stuff were stored. Some of
those closets are adorned with carved elements.
Since the town-planning project suggested the
construction of a school at the site of Tahir-bay’s Lodgings,
the house was dislocated to the left bank of the Bistrica
River, to the location called The Old Grain Market. After the
dislocation, the house was turned into the museum.

DESCRIPTION
The church of St Nicholas in Bogo{evci was built at
the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century. It is
a small building, rectangular in plan, with a projecting
semicircular apse. The church is barrel-vaulted with a stone-
slate roofing. The floor is paved with stone slabs varying in
dimensions. A timber portico with a belfry in front of the
west façade is a latter-day construction. It has solid siding
and is covered with asbestos boards. Immediately after the
construction of the church had been completed, its walls got
fresco decoration, organized upon an iconographic scheme
typical of the epoch to which it belongs. The first zone shows
standing figures of the saints, while in the second they are
depicted in half-figure. The scenes from the Passion of
Christ are painted in the third zone, while the Cycle of the
Feasts occupies the fourth. The Transfiguration, depicted in
the vault, is flanked by the representation of Christ and the
Ascension with the prophets’ busts.
The pictures on the iconostasis are modern prints,
with the exception of the Royal Doors, which were painted
in tempera on panel.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The frescoes, which have never undergone
conservation treatment, are in poor condition. Roof covering
is leaking, which results in damages of frescoes in the vault.
On the south side of the vault, covering the western part of
the nave, a two metres long piece of mortar has fallen off.
The damage has not been filled.
A fragment of fresco layer has fallen off from the
north side of the vault, just above the iconostasis. The
damage has an earlier, inadequate lime mortar filling. The

settlement of the ground and the walls resulted in large
detaches and a series of cracks in the walls and fresco
mortar. The widest of those cracks got inadequate mortar
fillings. Capillary dampness and atmospheric humidity
penetrating through the roof resulted in increased
efflorescence on the surface of frescoes. The socle and a part
of the first zone are totally destroyed by capillary action up
to 1.1 m in height. This area got new mortar coating, also
contaminated by dampness. Fresco layer on the north half of
the west wall has been pulverized. Efflorescence and dark
layer of soot cover complete fresco decoration. Permanent
contamination by humidity and detaches are likely to cause
further deterioration.
Two niches can be seen on the north facade. The
eastern niche houses a fresco of a holy woman in half-figure,
while the western one shows half-figure of St Michael. The
left side of the fresco in the eastern niche has been damaged,
as well as its lower border. The fresco of St Michael shows
damages only along the lower border. All those damages are
caused by dampness.

It is a single-naved building with an apse, semicircular both
inside and outside. Its present appearance is the result of a
mid-nineteenth century remodelling, when the church got a
large narthex with a timber belfry. Fresco decoration dates
from the mid-seventeenth century. Frescoes of feeble quality
have been completely preserved, with the exception of those
once covering the west wall, which was pulled down. The
pick and disposition of the saints, shown as standing figures
in the first zone of frescoes, is in accordance with the
standard schemes. Scenes from the Passion of Christ occupy
the second zone, while the third shows the Cycle of the
Feasts. The prophets’ busts can be seen in the fourth zone.

The arrangement of the scenes in the sanctuary is also usual:
Holy Mother Wider than the Sky in the conch of the apse,
just above the Service of the Archbishops; parts of the
Annunciation flanking the apse, the Holy Trinity depicted as
the the Hospitality of Abraham, and the lower part of the
Ascension, showing the Virgin and the apostles. The vault
shows the upper part of the Ascension - Christ on the cloud
carried by angels (to the east), Christ Pantokrator (in the
middle), and Christ Angel of the Great Council (to the west).
The iconostasis, with the plating that is not anterior
to the narthex, has been composed of icons dating from
different epochs. P. Pajki} provides a catalogue of the icons
on the iconostasis, with detailed descriptions, transcriptions
of titles and inscriptions, and expertise.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The condition of the church is generally speaking
good, though increased humidity was recorded in the lower
zones of the walls. Minor damage above the south portal is
probably caused by bad quality of mortar. Facades of the
church are coated with mortar and whitewashed.
Capillary dampness in the walls of the church has
caused damages in the lower zones of fresco decoration -
efflorescence and pulverization of the fresco layer. On the
north wall increased humidity has been recorded up to 1.5 m
in height, while on the south its level is a bit lower.
Penetration of the atmospheric humidity through the roof
The west part of the
nave’s vault with
the crack in the
mortar
resulted in increased efflorescence, damages of fresco
mortar and pulverization of paint layer along the apex of the
vault. Settlement of the ground and the church’s walls
produced numerous cracks and detaches of fresco mortar.
Unskillfully and roughly applied fillings in the first zone of
the north wall were subsequently inadequately toned. The
surface of frescoes is covered with soot. Fresco depicting St
Michael, in the niche on the south façade, though severely
damaged, is relatively stable.
The iconostasis is compiled of icons painted by
several painters, all painted in tempera on wood panel, with
gilded background. It has latter-day plating coated with
industrial oil paint. The Sovereign Row consists of six icons
arranged into two rows, the Royal and north doors. Two
icons are mounted on the north door: St Nicholas (lower),
and Christ on the throne (upper). The second zone is
occupied by Deesis. The iconostasis is topped by the
Crucifixion. All the icons, with the exception of St Nicholas
from the north door, underwent conservation treatment – as
it is witnessed by inventory numeration of the Institute for
the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Prizren on their
backs. Wood support was consolidated and impregnated,
while the ground and the colour coat were fixed. The

DESCRIPTION
The church of St George in Gornje Selo was built in
the period between the end of the 16th and the middle of the
17th century. Frescoes in the church date from the same
period. The original church was constructed upon
rectangular plan, with a projecting apse, semicircular inside
and three-sided in the exterior. The church is barrel-vaulted,
with a stone-slate roofing. A narthex of the same length and
somewhat wider than the original church, was attached to it
around the middle of the 19 th century. The narthex is also
barrel-vaulted and covered with a stone-slate roof. The west
wall of the original church was pulled down during this
building campaign. The west portal of the narthex is
surmounted by two carved birds and a relief showing a
foliaged cross. This shallow relief is probably made in a

local workshop engaged in the construction of the church.
During the same building campaign a tower with a timber
belfry was erected. It was subsequently pulled down in 1945
and replaced with the new one. Present belfry consists of a
masonry ground floor, coated with mortar, and a timber
upper construction: ceiling, roof and hexagonal turret
Interior with the frescoes
in the sanctuary and
the iconostasis
housing bells are made of wood and covered with metal
plating.
Complete fresco decoration has been preserved,
with the exception of frescoes on the west wall, which was
pulled down. Frescoes in Gornje Selo, Bogo{evci and
Gotovu{a were probably painted by the same group of
painters. Their work is caracterized by narrative aproach to
compositions and lively colours. The disposition of the
scenes is typical of the epoch in which these frescoes were
painted: standing figures of the saints in the first zone, half-
figures in the second, scenes from the Passion of Christ in
the third and the Cycle of the Feasts in the fourth zone. Half-
figures of prophets are depicted on the sides of the vault. The
vault is covered with the Ascension of Christ (to the east),
Crist Pantokrator (in the centre) and Transfiguration (to the
west). Sanctuary shows the usual arrangement of scenes,
with the exception of the fourth zone of the eastern wall,
where busts of Isaak, Abraham, and Jacob were depicted.
The church houses several Russian 19 th century
icons.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Fresco decoration is in poor condition. Walls have
been contaminated by capillary dampness, while
atmospheric humidity has been penetrating through the roof.
The first zone of fresco decoration is severely damaged. On
the south wall fresco layer is completely destroyed up to 1.4
m in height. Two parallel cracks, at a distance of about 15
cm, can be seen in the apex of the vault. These two cracks,
now filled in, fork in the sanctuary, at 1.5 m distance from
the eastern wall. The damages of the first zone of the north
wall show that two coats of fresco mortar were applied,
which is untypical of the 16th century mural painting in this
region. The first layer of fresco mortar (ariccio) was
prepared with the addition of chaff.
The most of the damages of the frescoes are caused
by delamination, i.e. by separation of two coats of fresco
mortar and falling off of the upper one (intonaco). Numerous
detaches are caused by poor adhesion between the two layers
of mortar, on one hand, and by detaching of the lower layer

of mortar from the wall support, on the other. Two standing
figures in the first zone of the north wall, those closest to the
iconostasis, are particularly endangered by detaches. In this
area, minor fragments of mortar have already fallen off from
the wall, and the process of falling off is likely to go on.
The iconostasis has wooden plating, coated with
industrial oil paint. The only painted icons on the iconostasis
are two icons in the Sovereign Row, probably from the th 19
century, painted in oil on panel. They are in considerably
good condition. All the other icons are prints mounted on
panel and framed.
The icon of St Nicholas, painted in oil on canvas,
was found on the ground, to the right of the door. The icon
was unmounted from the strecher and crumpled, while its
bottom part was torn.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The inspection of the area around the church has
shown that the dampness of the walls, which makes a threat
to fresco decoration, has been caused by inadequate
drainage. The pavement, made of stone slabs, around the
eastern, earlier, part of the church does not carry off the
water pouring down the roof. The area around the western
part of the church is not paved at all. Due to disturbances in
the stone-slate roofing water penetrates through the vault.
In October of 2001, fragments of the 16 th century
fresco decoration were discovered in the nave and sanctuary.
On the south wall of the nave a fragment of fresco depicting
SS Peter and Paul can be seen. Frescoes have been preserved
in the apse and in the niche of diaconicon. The great part of
the decoration of the eastern wall is preserved, as well as a

fragment on the north wall. On the south wall of the
sanctuary, two standing figures, both severely damaged, can
be seen. Since the church was whitewashed on several
occasions, it is possible that certain parts of fresco
decoration are covered with paint.
Existing uncovered fragments are in considerably
bad condition. The walls are contaminated by capillary
dampness. Roof is slightly leaking, which is a threat to
possible remains of frescoes in the vault. Fresco mortar is
partly detached from the wall, but for the time being it is not
likely to fall off. The surface of the frescoes is covered with
soot and efflorescence.
The iconostasis has wooden plating. With the
exception of the Royal Doors, all the icons are prints,
mounted on panel or framed. The Royal Doors, which have
never undergone conservation treatment, are in poor
condition. Deterioration of the adhesive in the chalk- ground
caused the detaching of almost complete colour coat of the
north wing, as well as of considerable part of south wing’s

semicircular apse, and a stone-slate roofing. A latter-day
narthex, higher and wider than the church, covered with
double-through roofing tiles, is attached to its west front.
Since the mortar coating of the façade has been removed, the
structure of the wall can be seen - coursed-rubble. The only
decorative elements that can be noticed on the façades are
shallow arched niches in the lateral walls.
The church got fresco decoration immediately after
its construction had been completed, as it is witnessed by
donor’s inscription in the prothesis. Iconographic concept of
fresco decoration is in accordance with contemporary
schemes of decoration used in Metohija. The first zone
shows St Sava with St Simeon and St Constantine with St
Helene on the west wall, military saints and St Nicholas in
the nave, The Vision of St Peter of Alexandria, St Stephen,
St Roman and St Simeon Stylite in the niches of prothesis

properly mortared, water penetrates, drips and pours down
the west wall of the church.
The dampness rate of the south wall depends on
fluctuations of temperature. In the vault, which is exposed to
increased capillary humidity coming from the elevated
ground, efflorescence and damages of the fresco ground can
be noticed.
Fresco decoration have already undergone
conservation treatment, as it is witnessed by mortar borders
of the damaged frescoes and repaired mortar joints between
the stones in the vault, in the places where fresco mortar had
already fallen off. Despite these interventions, frescoes are in
poor condition. Capillary dampness causes increased
efflorescence in the lower zone of the fresco decoration, and
pulverization of the fresco layer around the upper border of
the damp area, which is the most exposed to microclimatic
fluctuations in the structure of the wall. In the upper part of
the western wall, penetration of atmospheric humidity
results in efflorescence and pulverization of fresco layer
along the lower border of the damp area. Only the fragments
of frescoes have been preserved in the vault over the nave
and sanctuary – the most of them in the springing of the vault
on the north side. The damages of the vault are anterior to
conservation treatment of the frescoes. In the lower zone of
the south wall, the damages were made by wedges on which
icons were hung. All the preserved parts of the fresco
decoration are covered with dark layer of soot. Since fresco
mortar was properly fixed to the wall support during
conservation campaign, with the exception of an air cushion
above the entrance, no serious detaches can be seen.
Major part of fresco mortar, prepared with the
addition of chaff, coating the west wall of the latter-day
narthex, has been preserved. The deterioration rate of the
paint layer covering it makes the identification of scenes
impossible. Fresco mortar shows only the remains of
underpaiting done in red ochre. In the arched niche above the
door in the east wall of the narthex a fragment of fresco
mortar with severely deteriorated paint layer can be seen. In
the arch of the niche, a fragment of fresco layer showing
decorative ornaments has been preserved. Wainscot ceiling
of the narthex hides its vault. There is, however, a narrow slit
between the “hanging ceiling” and east wall, which allows
inspection of the upper zones of the west church’s façade and
its cornice. In the apex of the cornice a fragment of fresco
mortar with preserved paint layer can be seen.
In the niche on the north façade remains of fresco
mortar have been preserved. No remains of paint layer have
been preserved, with the exception of bordure fragments on
the wall of the niche. In the niche on the south façade neither
paint layer, nor fresco mortar have been preserved.
The iconostasis has wooden paneling. The Royal

DESCRIPTION
Position
The church of the Holy Virgin of Ljevi{ka is the
oldest building of medieval town of Prizren, which was
founded on the steep, terraced slopes of the northwestern
spurs of the Mountain of [ara. During the Middle Ages,
important roads passed through the town, connecting it with
both the West and the East. Owing to its extraordinary
position the town was populated ever since the ancient times.
It has been assumed that the ancient Roman town of
Theranda existed on the site of the present town. Numerous
fragments of ancient Roman sacrificial altars and
tombstones found there are the arguments in favour of this
hypothesis.

History
Historical data from the time of the Byzantine rule
confirm the continuity of life in Prizren. The first document
to offer a testimony to this is the charter of the Emperor Basil
II, issued in 1019, which defined the jurisdiction of the
Archbishopric of Ohrid, mentioning, in this context, Prizren.
This is an important source because it gives us the
information that at that time Prizren was the seat of the
bishopric. Remains of the contemporary cathedral were
discovered under the present church, which was restored by
the Serbian king Milutin in 1306/1307. The earlier,
Byzantine, basilica was also founded on remains of an even
older, Early Christian church. However, the history of that
church building is even more complex, since one more
building stage, dating from the 13 th century, can be
recognized. It has been dated in the times of Stephen
Prvoven~ani and brought into relation with the church
reform conducted by Archbishop Sava I.
The fact that Prizren became one of the most
important towns in the medieval Serbia in the beginning, and
one of the capitals of the Empire about the middle of theth14

Frescoes in the sanctuary
The west wall of the
narthex, Horizontal
genealogical tree of
the Nemanji} dinasty
century, is important for the history of the cathedral of
Prizren. The progress of the city lasted less than seven
decades. The importance of Prizren was diminished after the
fall of the Empire. It was occupied by the Turkish army in
1455. The church of the Holy Virgin of Ljevi{ka was
probably deserted either right after the migration under
Arsenije ^arnojevi}, or after the departure of Arsenije
[akabenta, in 1737, at the latest. Soon after that, but before
1756, it was turned into a mosque. On that occasion a
minaret was built on its belfry, while in the interior of the
church an important element supporting the dome was torn
down in order to make room for a mihrab. Theth14century
frescoes were beaten with hammer and covered with mortar.
All the facades of the church were also coated with mortar.
After the liberation of Prizren in 1912, the Holy Virgin of
Ljevi{ka was turned into a Christian church once again. In
1923, the minaret was torn down. However, thorough
research and restoration works were undertaken as late as the
1950’s, between 1950 and 1953.
Research and restoration works
Important data about the history of Prizren and the
church of the Holy Virgin of Ljevi{ka were recorded by
travel-writers and researchers of Serbian history in theth19
century. However, the first scientific researches dealing with
it were undertaken as late as the first decades of the th20
century. Miloje Vasi} was one of the first scholars to deal
with the church. He tried to throw light to the personage of
the Prizren bishop Damjan. Numerous researchers were
recording inscriptions referring to the bishopric of Prizren
that could be found in the church in the old manuscripts. The
research conducted by Slobodan Nenadovi}, undertaken
between 1950 and 1953, was a significant contribution to our
knowledge about the endowment of king Milutin in Prizren.
At the same time, paintings conservators Milan La|evi} and
Zdenka and Branislav @ivkovi} discovered the frescoes in
the interior of the church. Nenadovi} presented the results of

his research, the analysis of the architecture of the church
and its sources in his doctoral thesis, defended at the Faculty
of Philosophy in Belgrade in 1962. In the same time
numerous studies on the frescoes of the Holy Virgin of
Ljevi{ka were published. More than two decades later,
Draga Pani} and Gordana Babi} gave the summary of the
results of previous research, as well as a thorough analysis of
architecture and mural decoration of the church.
The restoration of the frescoes was resumed in
1968. The platform of the campaign was that all the damages
made by hammering of the frescoes should be filled in order
to provide better protection of the remaining frescoes. These
fillings were supposed to be adequately toned, in harmony
with the frescoes around them. The campaign lasted until
1976, with breaks in 1972 and 1973.
The church
The original building was built as three-aisled
basilica, with aisles ending in three apses on the eastern side.
On the west side, the aisles were encompassed by a narthex.
The nave, wider than the aisles, was separated from them by
rows of pillars. The isles were probably lower than the nave.
In front of the narthex, a portico supported by columns could
be seen. On the north and west side of the portico and
narthex, remains of walls defining longitudinal spatial units
were found. Nothing could be said about their function.
In the next stage of construction, dated to the first
decade of the 13th century, major changes were brought in by
the accomplishment of fresco decoration of the church and
the change of the roof construction. It is assumed that the
whole church was covered with a simple wooden
construction of a double-pitched roof. A century later, king
Milutin made a radical change by having the nave of the
former basilica turned into a five-domed building: two rows
of pillars supporting barrel vaults were added, while, on the
other hand a central dome, as well as four small side domes
were constructed above them. The result was a church
designed on cross-in-square scheme. Tribelon that formerly

led from the narthex to the nave was replaced by a solid wall,
while the sanctuary was covered by a calotte. The central
apse was also remodelled. Buttresses attached to the pillars
– on the side facing the aisles – belong to this building stage.
Aisles that were still in use were lower than the central five-
domed structure. Together with the restored narthex, they
made an ambulatory that encompassed three sides of the
central unit.
The icons in the north
chapel on the 1st
floor of the
exonarthex
Two-story exonarthex with a high belfry erected in
the place of the former portico, contributed to the esthetic
splendour of the building. The ground-floor of the
exonarthex was designed as an open porch covered with
groin vaults. The first floor houses two side chapels, on the
north and the south side, respectively. The bells and the
catechumene on the upper floor of the narthex, above the
wooden floor construction are accessed from the central
section. Catechumene has a biforine window open towards
the nave and a wide aperture towards the belfry. The belfry
has two floors more than the exonarthex. The top of the
uppermost one is finished in a calotte.
Although the present appearance of the church was
the result of gradual changes, its facades and their masonry
work, despite certain details, look as a harmonious whole.
Façades are articulated by sometimes stepped pilasters
surmounted by blind arches. They are built in Byzantine
technique with the alternating courses of brick and stone,
organized in patterned bond. Various geometric shapes,
among which meander, can be seen on the façades. Dog-
tooth cornices were also made of brick. Terracotta elements
can be seen around the arches of the windows, niches and the
arches of the cubic bases on which small domes were
mounted, on the gables and elsewhere. The inscriptions
made in relief, with toned mortar fillings between the letters
belong to the same style of decoration.
As it was recorded in an inscription on the south
transverse arch in the exonarthex, the th 14 century
remodelling of the church was entrusted to the masters
Nicholas and Astrapas. When the works were begun, bishop
Damjan was the head of the Bishopric of Prizren. However,

earliest preserved frescoes are dated in therd3decade of the
13th century: these are the parts of the scenes of the Miracles
of Christ and Virgin Eleousa with Christ the Sustainer. The
iconographic and morphological features indicate that these
paintings are the work of a local Balkan workshop keeping
to tradition of the Comnene style. Scholars relate them to the
frescoes in the church of St Nicholas in Studenica. Interest in
narration, as opposed to monumentality and pompous tone
preferred in the court workshops, was the distinctive feature
of these paintings.
All the other preserved frescoes are the work of a
group of painters, led by master Astrapa. They are painted in
the period between 1307 and 1313. Despite the fact that
during Ottoman rule the church was turned into a mosque
and that numerous frescoes were completely destroyed or
picked in order to provide better adhesion between the wall
and the new coat of mortar, almost the third of the entire
fresco decoration dating from the time of king Milutin,
uncovered during conservation campaign between 1950 and
1953, has been preserved. The exquisite quality of paintings
and their extraordinary iconography make this remaining
part an important source for the study of the Serbian
medieval painting. After several decades of research in the
iconology of these frescoes, crowned by the above-
mentioned monograph by Draga Pani} and Gordana Babi},
fresco decoration of the Holy Virgin of Ljevi{ka is highly
valued. A group of painters led by Astrapa managed to
created an extraordinary assemblage of frescoes, in which
the qualities of the best monumental painting of the th 13
century meet with the tendencies induced by the court
workshops in the 14th century. The iconography of these
frescoes indicates that the painters and their advisers were

Unutra{wost crkve bila je nekada u
celini pokrivena freskama, a do na{ih dana
ostalo je sa~uvano svega oko 2000 m2. Najstarije
o~uvane freske nastale su u tre}oj deceniji XIII
veka. Od slikarstva su o~uvani delovi scena ^uda
Hristovih i Bogorodice Eleuse sa Hristom
Krmiteqem. Prema ikonografskim i stilskim
osobenostima, ovo slikarstvo pripada nekoj od
lokalnih balkanskih radionica koje su o~uvale
tradicije komninskog stila, a istra`iva~i ih
povezuju sa freskama u crkvi Svetog Nikole u
Studenici. Radove ovih majstora odlikuje
sklonost ka narativnosti, nasuprot dvorskih
radionica koje su negovale monumentalnost i
sve~ani ton.
Ostale o~uvane freske rad su grupe
majstora koji su, vo|eni protomajstorom
Astrapom, oslikali hram od 1307. do 1313. godine.
Iako su u vreme turske vlasti, kada je crkva
pretvorena u yamiju, freske sa mnogih zidnih

interventions. The scaffolding in the southwestern part of the
nave, and another, smaller, wooden one, in the narthex,
witness that the works were suddenly interrupted.
The frescoes have been fixed and cleaned, while the
damaged areas were covered with new mortar. The damages
of the paint layer and the fresco ground caused by picking
were for the most part filled and, in the most important
compositions, retouched. On the composition of the
Dormition of the Virgin, on the western wall of the nave,
these retouches should be restored since they have darkened
and got yellowish tone. The most of the damaged areas that
have not been filled are located on the vaults of the
exonarthex.
The contamination of the lower zones of the walls
by capillary humidity, particularly on the eastern and the
northern sides of the church, resulted in the development of
efflorescence on the paint layer of the frescoes. In the
diaconicon, altar apse the and on the eastern wall of the
prothesis, contamination with humidity is so severe that the
fillings in the lowest zone of these walls are already
crumbling. The inspection of the walls up to the level that
can be reached from the ground, as well as the examination
of the upper zones approached from the scaffolding, showed
that the fresco mortar has partly detached from the wall.
However, it is not likely to fall off in these areas.
Materials used for conservation, the parts of the
iconostasis as well as the icons packed in the cardboard
boxes are still stored in the chapels of the exonarthex.
Because of insufficient light, the possibility that the area was
mined and the KFOR’s ban, thorough inspection of these
chapels was not possible. The windows of the open narthex
were covered by steel wire, nailed from the inside, through
the paint layer and fresco mortar.
Recommended Measures of Technical Protection
1. It is necessary to clear the surrounding of the church of
mines, and remove the bushes, weeds, rubble and soil.
2. Side-walks and drainage trenches for the water pouring
down the roof should be restored.
3. The roofing should be inspected and repaired.
4. The belfry should be provided with iron bracing, fixed
in the holes made by special power-drills in the zones
where the cracks appeared.
5. The missing colonette of the biforine window should be
replaced by the new one.
6. The damages of the mortar that was directly exposed to
moisture should be fixed.
7. It is necessary to continue with the restoration and
conservation treatment of the fresco decoration, in
accordance with the project after which previous
interventions were made.
8. The icons and other material should be urgently removed
from the chapels of the exonarthex in order to provide
conditions for further conservation works in them.

DESCRIPTION
The church of St Nicholas was built as the
endowment of Dragoslav Tuti} and his wife Bjela in
1331/1332. That is why it got the title ” Tuti}’s Church”. It
is a small single-naved, domed building, with a tripartite
sanctuary to the east. Its oblong plan is emphasized by a
western bay and slight elongation of the eastern one. The
eastern bay was covered with a barrel vault. Stone and brick
courses alternate on the church’s facades: regular bond of the
northern and eastern façades is replaced with irregular
courses on the west front.
The earliest conservation works on the church date
back to 1967-1970, when the dome was reconstructed and
sanated. During subsequent restoration campaigns (in the
1980’s and 1990’s), the shops built against the north and
south sides of the church were removed. Present appearance
of those façades is the result of reconstruction undertaken on
that occasion.
The remains of the original fresco decoration are
preserved in the upper parts of the walls. The most of it can
be seen on the western wall, in the vault covering western

The vault of the eastern bay is occupied by the
Ascension. In the conch of the apse Virgin Mary is depicted
as Holy Mother Wider than the Sky. North part of the eastern
wall is occupied by the representation of St Stephen.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church is surrounded with houses and shops,
and its only protection consists of a barbed-wire fence and
locked metallic gate. On the outer side of the fence, a heap
of garbage can be seen. The church has not been demolished.
There are, however, certain damages in its interior caused by
the breaking of the western door lintel and inadequate
restoration of the wall around the door, where cracks
appeared. Cracks can also be seen on the altar and prothesis
tables. The sanctuary window was covered with a slab and
supported from the inside. Tools and materials used in an
earlier sanation campaign are left in the church, and they can
still be found there. The icons are removed and stored in the
altar apse, or in the boxes put by the wall. Lead-plate
covering is in good condition, without damages. It is,
however, feared that a detached console carrying telephone
wire, which touches the dome and the covering of the eastern
bay, could damage it.
The remains of frescoes underwent conservation
treatment, and for the time being they do not need new
interventions. In the left corner of the recessed lunette above
the entrance, on the west façade, remains of fresco mortar
and paint can be seen. These are probably remains of the
fresco of St Nicholas. Two haloes can be discerned – the
bigger one in the centre, and a smaller one to the left, a bit
lower.

DESCRIPTION DESKRIPCIJA

The church of St Savior in Prizren is the endow-

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The conservation and restoration of the preserved
fragments of fresco decoration had to be interrupted. The
record of interventions is not available. Steel scaffolding
with a platform raised to the level of dome is still in the nave.
Joints between stones were filled with new mortar. The
frescoes were bordered with lime mortar. The lower zones of
fresco decoration in the narthex and on the western wall of
the nave were cleaned, while the other parts of the walls are
still covered with layers of soot. Fresco layers on the western
walls of narthex and nave are severely damaged: only the
traces of drawing and underpainting are preserved.
The contamination of walls by capillary humidity
resulted in efflorescence, which appeared in the lower zones
of the walls, especially in the altar apse (up to the level of the
upper border of the zone of standing figures), in the
northwestern corner of the nave, and on the northern part of
the eastern wall of the narthex (the representation of The
Virgin Mary). Atmospheric dampness penetrates through the
walls, which results in efflorescence and pulverization of the
paint layer in the conch of the altar apse, in the upper zones
of the nave, under the dome, and in the apex of the western
arch of the groin vault in the narthex. Fresco mortar is partly
detached from the wall. The most imperiled area, which
might completely fall off, can be seen on the fresco of the
Virgin Mary, some two metres from the ground, on the east
wall of the narthex.

Situation
DESCRIPTION
Position
The monastery of Holy Archangels is situated in
the gorge of the River Bistrica, 3 km from Prizren, by the
road connecting Prizren and Tetovo, which in the Middle
ages provided communication between Prizren and Sreda~ka
and Sirini}ka `upa. It was founded on a plateau upon the the
left bank of the river, at the foot of the hill on which the
medieval fortress Vi{egrad was built.
History
The monastery was built upon remains of an
earlier sacral object, in the period between 1343 and 1352. It
is the endowment of king Du{an (the Emperor from 1346).
The text of the foundation charter, granted by the donor
between 1348 and 1353, was preserved in a copy
contemporary to the charter. The emperor provided his
endowment with a very high rank in the Serbian church
hierarchy, as well as with large estates including meadows,
vineyards and woods, with 93 villages, with peasants and
artisans, with a mine and many other privileges.
We don’t know when exactly its construction was
begun. It is believed that the preliminary arrangements were
made as early as 1343, during king Du{an’s visit to Prizren.
The construction of the monastery might have been
completed by 1349, when, according to the sources, lead for
the roof was obtained. The works in the church, however,
were finished as late as 1352. The construction of the
monastery was supervised by hegumen Jakov, who
subsequently became the metropolitan of Ser. Five masons
appointed by the king, originating from the estates given to
the monastery, were permanently engaged on the
monastery’s construction. Due to these facts the building of
such a big monastery complex, consisting of two churches
and large conventual buildings, was completed in quite a
short time.
Fortified and well protected, monastery of Holy
Archangels hosted the refugees from Prizren in 1372, but it

Situacija
DESKRIPCIJA
Polo`aj
U klisuri reke Bistrice, na tri
kilometra od Prizrena u pravcu jugoistoka, kraj
puta koji vodi od Prizrena prema Tetovu i koji
je u sredwem veku spajao Prizren sa Sreda~kom
i Sirini}kom `upom, nalazi se manastir Svetih
arhan|ela. Zasnovan je na ste{wenom proplanku
uz levu obalu reke, u podno`ju visoravni na kojoj
je podignuto sredwovekovno utvr|ewe Vi{egrad.
Istorija
Manastir je podignut na starijem kultnom
mestu izme|u 1343. i 1352. godine. Zadu`bina je
kraqa Du{ana, od 1346. cara. Ktitor je izme|u
1348. i 1353. izdao manastiru povequ poznatu po
jednom savremenom prepisu. Wom je svojoj
zadu`bini odredio vrlo visok rang u hijerarhiji
srpskih crkava i dodelio vlastelinstvo sa
dovoqno plodnog zemqi{ta, vinograda i {uma, sa
93 sela i brojnim ratarima i zanatlijama, jedan
rudnik `eleza i mnoge druge privilegije.
Po~etak gra|ewa manastira nije utvr|en,
ali se veruje da su pripreme zapo~ete 1343, kad
je kraq Du{an do{ao u Prizren. Mo`da je do
1349. bio gra|evinski zavr{en, jer tada je
dobavqano olovo za pokrivawe crkve, ali radovi
nisu potpuno okon~ani pre 1352. godine. O
podizawu manastira starao se iguman Jakov,
potowi mitropolit u Seru, postavqen za
stare{inu manastira na samom po~etku wegovog
gra|ewa. Posao mu je bio olak{an okolno{}u da
je car Du{an obezbedio pet stalnih zidara
vezanih za rad u manastiru dodeqenim imawima.
Blagodare}i tome, manastir je brzo sagra|en, iako
je bio prostran, sa mnogim mona{kim kelijama i
sa dve crkve.

could not protect its estates. Many of them seem to have
been lost as early as the second decade of the 15 th century.
The life and activity within its walls lasted only one century.
After the sack of Prizren in 1455, the Turks must have
captured and demolished the monastery. The unfavourable
circumstances during following years resulted in clumsy
repairs of the katholikon, and unskillfully built narthex of the
church of St Nicholas. An inscription from 1519, about
selling a book that once belonged to the monastery, suggests
that the monastery might have already been deserted at that
time. There is no doubt that in 1542 nobody lived in the
monastery, since certain laymen inscribed their names on the
walls of the main church at that time. The katholikon and
conventual buildings were pulled down between 1542 and
1615. In 1615, by order of Sinan-pasha, the material of
which the church had been built was used for the
construction of his endowment, Sinan-pasha’s mosque
erected in Prizren. The remains of the churches and
conventual buildings were subsequently covered with
deposit brought by water from the slopes of the hill. No
traces of the monastery could be seen, and only the tradition
that made people from the nearby villages gather twice a
year – on the feasts of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel,
saved it from sinking into complete oblivion. Those
gatherings were evoking the memory of the fairs that used to
be organized in the monastery’s immediate surroundings.
Three centuries had passed before the archaeological
excavations were begun in 1927.
Monastery complex
The monastery has an irregular triangle in its plan,
defined by a fortified enclosing wall, and dictated by the
shape of the plateau and the river band. Having in mind the
information from the sources that perimeter wall used to
house guard, one comes to the conclusion that the enclosing
wall must have been finished in a battlement hiding a wall-
walk. The dormitory, monastery library, infirmary and other

imawa. Izgleda da je mnoga izgubio ve} u drugoj
deceniji XV veka. @ivot u manastiru nije trajao
vi{e od jednog stole}a. Kada su 1455. godine Turci
osvojili Prizren, zauzeli su, po svoj prilici, i
manastir Svetih arhan|ela i verovatno ga tom
prilikom u znatnoj meri razorili. Te{ko stawe
posle toga ostavilo je traga u neukom zazi|ivawu
nekih delova saborne crkve i isto tako lo{oj

zapisu iz 1519, u kojem se govori o prodaji kwige
iz manastira Svetih arhan|ela, izgleda da je tada
ve} bio zapusteo, a svakako 1542, kada su laici
zapisivali svoja imena na zidovima saborne crkve.
Izme|u ove posledwe godine i 1615. sru{ene su
saborna crkva i okolne manastirske zgrade, {to
se vidi iz naredbe Sinan - pa{ine da se iz wenih
ru{evina vadi gradivo za zidawe wegove yamije u

conventual buildings were built against the perimeter wall.
The enceinte was occupied by the main church, i.e. the
Emperor’s mausoleum, dedicated to Holy Archangels, little
church dedicated to St Nicholas, and the refectory, built as a
free-standing object.
Remains of the
church of Holy
Archangels, view
from the south
The katholikon dedicated to the Holy Archangels,
Michael and Gabriel, dominated the monastery complex.
Large, made of costly materials, lavishly ornate with
sculptures and relieves, it excited the admiration of medieval
chroniclers. One of them wrote:“by its beauty and
adornment it surpassed the church of De~ani” . The church
had a tripartite sanctuary to the east and a narthex to the
west. It was designed on a cross-in-square scheme. The
remains of two domes – one bigger in diameter than the
other - indicates that the church must have had five domes,
and that its oblong corner bays were similar to those in
Gra~anica – with domes positioned in their corners.
The narthex was designed as an open portico with
three apertures on its front, and one on the north and south
wall, respectively. Shape and size of the pilasters supporting
transverse arches indicate that all of the three bays of the
narthex must have been vaulted: those on the flanks
surmounted by groin vaults, the central one domed. The
façades of the church were made of reddish and white
marble ashlars. They must have been decorated with several
blind arches and divided into several zones by horizontal
cornices. The windows and portals must have had lavish
sculptural decoration featuring Romanesque and Gothic
reliefs. The mausoleum of Emperor Du{an showed
symbiosis of Byzantine concept of church’s interior and
Western treatment of the façades, already seen on the
mausolea of the members of Nemanji} dynasty. The church
was equipped with marble liturgical furnishings. In addition
to that, it was famous for its mosaique floor, comprised by a
medieval chronicler among masterpieces of Serbian art.
Façades of the church dedicated toSt Nicholas
were decorated in the same manner as those of the

glavna crkva posve}ena svetim arhan|elima, koja

Saborna crkva , posve}ena arhan|elima Mihailu i
Gavrilu, bila je dominanta celog mona{kog
naseqa. Velikih razmera, izvedena u skupocenom
gradivu i sa sekundarnim delovima ukra{enim
bogatim klesanim ukrasom, izazivala je divqewe
starih letopisaca, a jedan od wih je zapisao da
"dobrotoju i hudo`estvom prevashodit de~an-
sku cerkov, krome mramora"... Crkva ima trodelni
oltarski prostor na isto~noj strani i predvorje
na zapadnoj. Shema osnove hrama je u obliku
upisanog krsta, a po ostacima tambura jedne
kupole velikog raspona i jedne mawe pret-
postavqeno je da je imala pet kupola i krajwe
traveje, ina~e pravougaonog oblika, re{ene kao
starija saborna crkva manastira Gra~anice, koja
nad tim prostorima ima ugaone kupole.
Narteks je otvoren, sa tri otvora na
~eonoj i po jednim sa bo~nih strana. Zakqu~uju}i
po pilastrima koji su nosili popre~ne lukove,
sva tri traveja narteksa bila su zasvedena, dva
bo~na verovatno krstastim svodovima, a sredi{ni
kupolom. Fasade crkve izvedene su od belog i
crvenog mermera, a bile su izdeqene slepim
lukovima na vi{e poqa, a po vertikali, vero-
vatno, podeonim vencima. Lepoti spoqa{nosti
doprinosio je bogat klesani ukras na prozorima
i portalima, koncipovan u duhu romani~ko-
goti~ke umetnosti. Time su i na mauzoleju cara
Du{ana, kao i na starijim grobnim crkvama

zamisao prostora ve} i spoqna obrada u duhu

katholikon. It was designed as single-naved, domed church,
with an eastern apse, and an open portico, narthex, to the
west. The narthex might have also been domed.
The refectory was a monumental, free-standing,
cross-shaped object. One of its shorter arms was finished in
an apse.
Research and conservation work
The research of the monastery began with the study
of the sources, in the 19th century. The excavation of the
remains and subsequent investigation of the site was begun
as late as 1927. That campaign was restricted to the
excavation of the remains of the two churches. The other
objects belonging to the monastery complex were excavated
th century. The remains of the
in the seventh decade of the 20
monastery underwent a conservation treatment on the same
occasion. Since no permanent guard could have been
provided, Albanian population from the nearby villages used
to treat the site as a pasture-ground for its cattle. The idea to
revitalize the monastery by rebuilding conventual buildings
and re-establishing brotherhood appeared as a solution to

this problem. It was realized in the ninth decade of theth20
century.
The investigation of the remains of the monastery
went along with archeological excavations. A concise report
about campaign of 1927 was written by its supervisor,
Radoslav Gruji}, PhD. A more comprehensive study about
the monastery was written by professor Slobodan
Nenadovi}, as a result of investigation and restoration
campaign taken up in the seventh decade of the th20century.
In his monograph about the monastery of Holy Archangels
Nenadovi} presented the complete corpus of historical data
related to the Emperor Du{an’s endowment. He paid special
attention to the analysis of the remains of the churches and
stone fragments, in order to make ideal reconstructions of
their original appearance. It was a special contribution to the
idea of beauty and splendour of the Emperor’s mausoleum.

DESCRIPTION
The mosque was built by Sinan-pasha in 1615. One
of its inner walls bears the inscription “like paradise”.
Stone and the sculptured elements of the
demolished monastery of Holy Archangels were used in its
construction. The mosque is an example of the classical style
of the Ottoman art. It was built of precisely cut ashlars, and
it has a slender polygonal minaret.
The most conspicuous features of its interor are the
adornment of the gallery and mural decoration. Several
strata can be distinguished in the mural decoration of the
mosque. The earliest of them, in the calotte of the dome,
dates from 1628.

DESCRIPTION
The church in Pej~i}i, dedicated to the Dormition of
the Virgin was built in the first half of the 17th century. It is
an oblong, single-naved, barrel-vaulted building, with an
apse, semicircular inside and three-sided in the exterior. The
narthex surmounted by a timber belfry was built in theth19
century. According to an inscription above the door, on the
west wall of the nave, the church got fresco decoration in
1646/1647, sponsored by donations of the inhabitants of
Sredska. The disposition of frescoes is in accordance with
iconographic schemes typical of the epoch: standing figures
of the saints in the first zone, a belt of medallions with
saints’ busts above it, scenes from the Passion of Christ in
the second, and the Cycle of the Feasts in the third zone. The
pick of scenes in the vault is also typical - the Ascension and
Christ Pantokrator, as well as the repertoire of the sanctuary.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Facades of the church were coated with mortar and
white-washed. A crack can be noticed in the joint between
the church and the belfry, probably due to difference in
weight of their structures, and settlement of the foundations
of the belfry. The church has stone-slate roofing. The lower
zone of façades of the eastern part of the church is hidden
behind the layers of deposit.
Frescoes on the west
wall of the nave

damages caused
by dampness
Fresco decoration is in extremely bad condition,
and there is a threat of further deterioration. The walls have
been contaminated by capillary humidity, which resulted in
severe damages of the first zone and the socle in the nave
and sanctuary. Penetration of the atmospheric humidity
through the roof caused damages in the vault, in whose north
part frescoes have been almost completely destroyed. Two
major damages can be seen on the south half of the vault,
recently filled with inadequate mortar, probably containing
cement. Fresco decoration of the vault is severely damaged
all along its apex, but it is preserved. Fresco mortar is
crackled, and it has been falling off, which resulted in new
damages in the vault, especially on its west side. Almost
complete surface of the preserved frescoes is covered with
efflorescence. Paint layer is covered with soot.
In the niche above the door in the east wall of the
latter-day narthex, a fresco depicting the Holy Virgin with
the Child can be seen. Its paint layer has been severely

DESCRIPTION
The church to the south of the cathedral, in the
churchyard, is dedicated to St George. It has also been called
the church of Runovi}, or the church of St George Runovi},
after the family name of the donors, brothers from the family
of Runovi}. Since the church was remodelled several times,
its appearance does not provide sufficient information about
the time of its construction. Several hypotheses concerning
that matter were made, dating it within the period between
the 14th and 16th centuries. It is barrel-vaulted, single-naved,
without dome. The church has an eastern apse, semicircular
inside and three-sided in the exterior. It was built of stone
and it has lead-plate covering. The most significant feature
of its architecture is the use of wide arches on the north
facade. Those arches used to be walled in until conservation
and restoration campaign. They are now glazed. The design
of the western façade is also untypical: the gable is higher
than the roof, and it has a wide and tall niche in its centre;
the arch of the niche outlines the ending of the vault. The
niche encloses arched stone portal. The wall between the
portal and the gable is filled with patterned stone and brick
bond, which suggests that the church, or at least a part of it,
dates back to the 14th century. The portal is surmounted by a
deep arched niche containing a stone slab with a carved
soleil tournantornament.

DESKRIPCIJA
Crkva Svetog \or|a u porti, ju`no od
Saborne crkve, poznata je kao Runovi}eva, ili
Svetog \or|a Runovi}a po prezimenu ktitora
bra}e Runovi}. Crkva se razli~ito datuje od XIV
do XVI veka, budu}i da wen arhitektonski sklop,
mewan tokom vremena, ne daje dovoqno podataka o
dobu u kome je nastala. To je jednobrodna crkva
bez kupole, poluobli~astog svoda, sa oltarskom
apsidom, iznutra polukru`nom, spoqa trostranom,
na istoku. Crkva je zidana kamenom, a sada je
pokrivena limom. Posebnost arhitekture ove
crkve predstavqaju {iroki lu~ni otvori na
severnoj strani, sada zastakqeni, a pre
konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radova i u ranijoj
istoriji crkve zazidani. Zapadna fasada je tako|e
neobi~no re{ena: kalkan, koji je vi{i od krova
crkve, u centru ima {iroku i visoku ni{u, ~iji
luk prati luk svoda. U ni{i je lu~no zavr{eni
portal sa kamenim okvirom, a zidno platno
izme|u portala i luka kalkana zidano je pravilno
postavqenim kamenom i opekom, {to navodi na
pretpostavku da je re~ o gra|evini, ili bar delu
gra|evine, koja poti~e iz XIV veka. Iznad portala
je duboka lu~no zavr{ena ni{a, u kojoj je kamena
plo~a sa plitko rezanim ukrasom u obliku soleil

Regardless the problems concerning the dating of
the church, it is clear that it must have been built before the
second half of the 16th century, when it got fresco
decoration. The frescoes were painted by a group of painters
working in Sreda~ka `upa. The same workshop worked in
the churches in Mu{nikovo, Sredska (the churches of St
Nicholas, and of the Holy Virgin), and Donja Bitinja (church
of St Theodore Tyron). The decoration scheme of the
preserved parts of fresco ensemble – in the vaults and in the
upper parts of the walls, indicates that the frescoes must have
been painted after the renewal of the Patriarhate of Pe}.
Cleaned fragments show that the frescoes were painted by
good painters, having the feeling for composition, and able
to make the impression of monumentality regardless small
dimensions of the scene, by means of restricted naration.
Frescoes in the vault of
the nave showing
typical damages
and traces of
conservation
interventions
Conservation and restoration of the frescoes was
undertaken in 1994 and 1995. Gauze strips (now
occasionally detached) put in the places where detached
fresco mortar is likely to fall off, are still on the walls, as
well as the cleaning probes, which have removed the soot,
discovering severely damaged fresco layer of a very high
artistic quality. Missing fragments of fresco mortar were
replaced with mortar fillings. In 1995, remains of frescoes
were found under the layer of paint in the lower zones of the
walls and on the northern part of the western arch
surmounting the portal. The work on conservation
documentation – the identification of iconography, and
blueprinting – was begun on the same occasion.
The iconostasis was painted by Petar Filipovi} from
Gara, in 1829. Certain icons from the period between the
14th and the 19th centuries were also found in the church. A
part of them, as well as the iconostasis, underwent
conservation treatment in 1995.

rekonstrukcija.
Bez obzira na odre|ene nesigurnosti u
datovawu crkvene gra|evine, jasno je da je ona
postojala u drugoj polovini XVI veka, kada je
oslikana. To je rad grupe majstora koji su u
Sreda~koj `upi `ivopisali crkve u Mu{nikovu,
Svetog Nikolu i Bogorodicu u Sredskoj i crkvu
Teodora Tirona u Dowoj Bitiwi. U prilog
datovawu u period posle obnove Pe}ke
patrijar{ije govori i ikonografska {ema svodova
i gorwih zona, na kojima je o~uvan `ivopis.
O~i{}eni fragmenti `ivopisa govore o vaqanim
majstorima, sa smislom za komponovawe i
sposobno{}u da sa`imawem naracije postignu
monumentalnost, uprkos malim dimenzijama scena.
Tokom 1994. i 1995. u crkvi su zapo~eti

frescoes show numerous cracks in the vault and in the
arches. Some of these cracks have been covered with gauze
strips.
The level of the pavement, made of stone slabs, is
for a few steps lower than the level of the churchyard.
Wooden construction of the iconostasis and its parapet slabs
were retained in their original position, while the icons have
been removed. The traces of the increased humidity in the
church’s interior are obvious – especially in its southwestern
part, where the dampness is a result of penetrating
precipitations.
The fact that the level of the church’s floor is under
the level of the ground have provided favorable conditions
for long-term capillary action, which resulted in
deterioration of frescoes in the lowest zone of the walls.
Although severely damaged and covered with layer of soot,
the frescoes are preserved in the sanctuary, on the vault and
in the upper zone of the northern wall of the nave. Lower
zones of the nave are hidden by the material stored in the
church and thus cannot be inspected. Numerous cracks,
varying in dimensions, can be noticed on the frescoes: the
biggest of them are located along the apex of the vault and
on the borders of the eastern wall. All the cracks got mortar
fillings at the beginning of the latest conservation campaign.
Fresco mortar is in several places detached from the wall and
is likely to fall off. Capillary dampness of the walls resulted
in pulverization of the fresco layer and development of
efflorescence on its surface. Efflorescence is particularly
noticeable in the sanctuary, on the south side of the vault,
and in the upper northwestern corner.
With the exception of two decorated wood parapets
in the socle, the iconostasis was removed from the church –
probably when the conservation of frescoes was undertaken.
In the niche surmounting the entrance, fragments of
mortar, fresco layer and traces of a carved ornament can be
noticed. No explanation of these remains can be given at the
moment.

DESCRIPTION
The church of Sveta Nedelja, dedicated to the
Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple, was founded in
1371 as the endowment of young king Marko Mrnjav~evi}.
The remains of this original church, upon which the church
of Sveta Nedelja was subsequently erected, were discovered
in 1966. Among archaeological remains that were found, a
completely preserved calotte of the dome should be pointed
out. The tablet with the donor’s inscription and the
sepulchral slab of Marina Struja, both dating from 1371,
were also found, as well as remains of the original fresco
decoration.
The research and conservation of the remains were
followed by restitution of the church’s original appearance:
an atrophied Greek-cross building, with a narthex, octagonal
drum of the dome and a semicircular apse.

west, have equal dimensions, while the third one, with a
window in its upper part, is narrower and shorter. This part
of the church was, up to the level of the apex of the niches’
arch, built of ashlars laid in regular courses. From the level
of the niches’ apex upwards, masonry work becomes
irregular, identical with the masonry work of the narthex,
belonging to a different phase of construction. This part of
the complex is barrel-vaulted. Its floor is paved with stone
slabs. Present narthex, somewhat wider than the nave, is
rectangular in plan. Its walls are composed of irregular
courses of stone and limestone. The narthex was covered by
a barrel vault and paved with stone. The level of the
pavement and the level of the vault are higher than their
counterparts in the nave. The higher part with the four-sided
belfry, probably the most recent part of the complex, dating
from 1875, when the church was restored, is situated to the
west of the narthex.
The walls of the nave and sanctuary have been
covered with oil mural paintings, which were, according to
an inscription in the prothesis, painted by Jakov Radev in
1887. The iconostasis is only partly preserved. Its icons were

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
As can be seen on the facades, stone and limestone
are prevailing materials used in the construction of the
church. The same materials are probably used for the
construction of the vault. Longitudinal building consists of
two parts; the earlier to the east, adorned with frescoes, and
subsequently built western part. The only remaining part of
the western wall of the original building got the form of an
arch. The floor is paved with stone slabs. The floor of the
western part, the narthex, is elevated. Both units are barrel-
vaulted – the vault of the narthex being higher than that of
the nave. The narthex is entered through a door in the south
wall. Massive western portal is covered by the belfry. The
church is fenestrated with two windows on the south side
and a window in the north wall of the eastern part. The
narthex has a door and a window in the south wall, while the
window of the north wall was walled in. The window in the
apse, which is semicircular inside and three-sided in the
exterior, is enclosed in a profiled niche made of limestone.
South façade of the eastern part is also adorned with profiled
niches made of limestone.

Oil mural paintings, preserved in the nave and
sanctuary, are in poor condition. Capillary dampness threats
the lower zones of mural decoration, while those in the socle
have been completely destroyed. Major damages of the vault
decoration were caused by penetration of atmospheric
humidity. In the north side of the sanctuary, it resulted in
increased pulverization of the paint layer, much of which has
already come off. The settlement of walls and ground
produced cracks and detaches in the mortar. In the zone
above the iconostasis a minor fragment of mortar has already
fallen off. Efflorescence can be seen all over mural
decoration. Murals are covered with dark layer of soot and
dirt.
The iconostasis is divided into three-zones. Icons
were painted in oil on panel. The icons of the Sovereign Row
have been removed. No information about their whereabouts
is available. Colour coat of the Royal Doors is severely
damaged, and in many places missing, together with the
ground. The figure of the Virgin on the south wing is the
most affected by deterioration of the ground. Colour coat
and the ground of the icon on the north door - standing figure
of St Nicholas - are in considerably better condition. There
is, however a crack caused by detaching of two boards
making the door. In the extent they can be inspected from the
level of ground, icons of the second and the third zones seem
to be stable. Colour coat of all the icons has yellowed and
darkened.

DESCRIPTION
The cathedral of St George was constructed and
decorated in the period between 1856 and 1887. It is
designed on a cross-in-square scheme. Its western part is
occupied by a narthex with a choir gallery and a belfry. It has
a tripartite sanctuary to the east, with three projecting apses.
The dome at the crossing of the nave and transept is
supported by pillars. Gables on the lateral facades outline the
shape of transept. The arms of the transept are covered with

longitudinal double-pitched roof, which cover the nave and
the corner bays. The church is built of ashlars. It used to have
an open portico encompassing its north, south and west
sides.
The icons on the iconostasis and on the thrones, as
well as mural painting depicting Christ Pantokrator, and the
representations of the Evangelists in the dome, were painted
by Kuzman Fr~kovski from Gali~nik. Woodcarvings on
certain parts of the thrones and the iconostasis can be
compared to the masterpieces of the workshops from Debar.
All the icons from the iconostasis were painted in oil on
canvas mounted on panel, with the exception of the Royal
Doors and the Crucifixion, which were painted directly on
panel. The choir fence carries numerous icons representing
the saints, painted in oil on the panel.
Numerous icons from the other churches in Prizren
and its surroundings are stored in the cathedral.

DESCRIPTION
A small barrel-vaulted church was built in 1936. Its
altar apse is semicircular inside, flanked by niches of
prothesis and diaconicon. The floor is paved with bricks.
The inner side of the walls is coated with mortar
and whitewashed. The central part of the church is
fenestrated with two windows, while the lateral walls are
relieved by recessed lunettes. Arched portal is surmounted
by a recessed lunette and the inscription ”1936”.
Both ends of the double-pitched roof, covered with
double-through roofing tiles, are surmounted by metal
crosses with arms made of tin plate. The apse is covered with
galvanized tin plates. The façades are coated with mortar and
whitewashed after which a painted imitation of stone plating
was applied: dark lines imitate mortar joints of stone plating.
The outer walls of the apse are not coated with
mortar. The treatment of the stone suggests that the façades
of the church originally were not coated with mortar. The
vault is probably made of limestone.
The iconostasis has Royal and north doors, and
prints featuring icons. The Genealogical Tree of @ivinjane,
recording all the important families once living in the village
and directions of their migration, can be seen in the church.
A latter-day belfry is situated to the northwest of the church

DESCRIPTION
The monastery of Devi~, with the church dedicated
to the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple, is situated
about 5km to the south of Srbica. Its present appearance is
the result of numerous remodellings, destructions and
rebuildings in the course of its five centuries long history.
The first donor of the monastery was holy hermit
Joanikije of Devi~, born in the 15 th century. The foundation
of the monastery has been attributed to despot \ura|
Brankovi}, who, according to tradition, erected the church in
1434, as a votive for the healing of his virgin daughter –
herefrom the name “Devi~”. Despot Grgur, despot \ura|’s
son, donated a bell to the monastery in 1458. A 19 th century
fresco cycle representing standing figures of the holy
members of the Brankovi} family has been preserved in the
chapel. The monastery was destroyed by the Turks at the end
of the 15th century. It was restored in the time of Patriarch
Makarije Sokolovi}, as it is witnessed by a fresco inscription
from 1587. During restoration campaign oil paintings from
1863 were strapped, removed from the wall and mounted on
the walls in the old church’s nave and the narthex. The Royal

Doors are the only remain of the old iconostasis. Their
design, woodcarving and icons indicate that they must have
been made in the second half of the 16 th century. The other
parts of the present iconostasis were made in 1974.
The church has been destroyed, rebuilt and
remodelled several times in its history. Each time the same
type of material was used – dressed stone and lime mortar,
which makes precise dating impossible. The earliest building
in the complex is the church. A parekklesion and a small
chapel, square in plan, with relics of Holy Joanikije were
subsequently attached to its north side. The church is single-
naved, rectangular in plan, barrel-vaulted, with three niches
acting as a sanctuary. The apse, containing the altar, is
semicircular inside and three-sided in the exterior. It has a
window contemporary to the construction of the church,
which is the only original aperture.
After the renewal of the Patriarchate of Pe} the
church was restored and painted. The church and
parekklesion got their fresco decoration on that occasion.
Fragments of these frescoes are preserved in the church’s
sanctuary and above Joanikije’s coffin.
The monastery was famous for the cult of St
Joanikije, a hermit and healer, and the activities of its
scriptorium in the 16th and 17th centuries.
During the World Wars the monastery was exposed
to plunders and destructions. In 1915 it was robbed by
treasure-hunting Austrian soldiers. Marble coffin of Holy
Joanikije was broken with pick, while conventual buildings
were destroyed. In the period between the two World Wars
valuable manuscripts from the period between the th13and
16th centuries were taken away. At the beginning of the
World War II, the Albanians destroyed the church, burnt
down the iconostasis and killed Hegumen Damaskin
Bo{kovi}. Partly ruined chapel and a part of the church were
the only parts of the monastery complex, which survived
these destructions. Church bells were taken away by Italian
soldiers.
Rebuilding of the monastery was begun in 1947.
Frescoes underwent cleaning and conservation treatment in
1966. Oil mural paintings made in one of the restoration
campaigns after 1863 were dislocated.
In recent war operations the monastery was ravaged
once again. The slab covering the coffin of Holy Joanikije
was broken, while the icons and mural paintings were
desecrated.

ne pru`a dovoqno podataka za preciznije
datovawe. Najstarija gra|evina je crkva, uz koju su
na severnom delu prizidani paraklis i mala
kapela kvadratne osnove, u kojoj je kivot svetog
Joanikija. Crkva je jednobrodna, pravougaone
osnove, podu`no poluobli~asto presvedena, sa tri
ni{e u funkciji oltarskog prostora. Sredwa,
oltarska, ni{a je iznutra polukru`na, a spoqa
trostrana. Prozor na apsidi, postavqen u vreme
izgradwe, jedini je autenti~an otvor, dok su svi
ostali iz kasnijeg vremena.
Nakon obnove Pe}ke patrijar{ije crkva je
obnovqena i `ivopisana. Tada su oslikani crkva
i paraklis. Fragmenti ovog `ivopisa su sa~uvani
u oltaru crkve i nad Joanikijevim kivotom.
Velikom ugledu manastira doprinosio je
kult svetog Joanikija, pustino`iteqa i lekara,
kao i obimna prepisiva~ka delatnost u XVI i
XVII veku.
Manastir je pretrpeo velike pohare i
razarawa u Prvom i Drugom svetskom ratu. U
potrazi za skrivenim blagom, 1915. opqa~kala ga
je austrijska vojska, a pijukom je razbijen
mermerni kivot sa mo{tima svetog Joanikija i
razorene manastirske zgrade. Izme|u dva svetska
rata odnesene su vredne rukopisne kwige iz XIII-
XVI veka. U Drugom svetskom ratu Albanci su ve}
na po~etku rata razorili crkvu, zapalili
ikonostas i ubili igumana Damaskina Bo{kovi}a.
Od kompleksa je ostala samo zaru{ena kapela i
deo crkve. Italijanska vojska je odnela zvona.
Obnova je zapo~eta 1947. godine, freske su
~i{}ene i konzervirane 1966. Tada je dislociran
noviji `ivopis, uqano zidno slikarstvo nastalo u
jednoj od obnova nakon 1863. godine.
U najnovijim zbivawima ponovo je
opqa~kan, razbijena je plo~a na kivotu svetog
Joanikija, skrnavqene ikone i freske.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Monastery is being protected by Russian KFOR
units, residing in the dormitory.
The monastery is accessed by a road, which is in
very bad condition. It has constant supply of running water
and electricity. However, the security of the monastery is
still threatened since it is surrounded by villages populated
with ethnic Albanians, on one hand, and it doesn’t have a
proper enclosing wall, on the other. A possible attack is the
most likely to be attended from the direction of southwest,
where a spring of drinkable water can be found.
Within the residential part of the monastery, the
construction of the winter chapel has been begun. It was
built of Siporex blocks, while its walls were coated with
cement mortar. The building was given up in 1999.
Present roofing of the church is in very poor
condition, leaking in several places. The results of visual
inspection indicate that the roof construction is bad. The roof
is damaged around leadwork and in the zones surrounding
the cornice.

Inadequate disposition of the gutters and their
irregular maintenance, absence of drainage system and
side-walk in the area around the church have resulted in
increased humidity of the walls.
The frescoes in the chapel are consolidated,
bordered with plaster and cleaned. The frescoes of the
sanctuary are bordered, cleaned and partly retouched.
Strapped frescoes are moved to the nave and
narthex of the old church, as well as to the narthex and the
nave of the parekklesion. They show occasional detaches
and air cushions. In the restoration process, walls were
coated with cement mortar, while frescoes were bordered
with plaster. The frescoes had been painted on the ground of
lime mortar reinforced with chaff in order to prevent
cracking. These materials are “working” in different manner,
which resulted in detaching of the fresco layer from the wall.
The murals are covered with soot; numerous cracks, earlier
fillings and retouches can be noticed. The lower zones show

strapping of oil murals. The results of earlier conservation

The earliest history of the church is related to
tchelnik, protovestiary and famous bell-caster Rodop, buried
in it in 1436. Rodop’s sepulchral slab has been preserved in
the church. It is one of the most significant monuments of
Serbian epigraphy, famous for poetic qualities of the incised
text, its epigraphic features and the artistic value of its
ornaments. Prism-shaped sarcophagus with slanting lateral
sides was made of white marble. It is bordered with frieze
composed of floral ornaments. Under the text, Rodop’s
monogram, featuring a rosette can be seen. Rodop’s bell
made in 1432, once belonging to the church, can be seen in

south walls. Western door is surmounted by an oculus. The
church was built of stone up to the level of windows: these
are the authentic walls of the original church. The remaining
parts of the walls were also built in stone, while the vaults
were built in brick. The walls are coated with mortar and
white-washed. The cornice consists of a simple profile and
blind arcades moulded in mortar.
The church is entered through a masonry portico
with the upper construction supported by six polygonal
columns. A belfry was attached to the north side of the
portico.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The village populated with ethnic Serbs and the
church in Banja are being protected by Spanish KFOR units,
settled in the immediate surroundings of the church. The
church is connected with the village by an asphalted road,
which is in poor condition. It has neither running water, nor
electricity supply. The church is not officiating.
The mortar coating of the façades has almost
completely fallen off: from the zone under the eaves, as well
as from the columns, gable and lower zones of the walls. The
roof has been covered with new pantiles. Due to inadequate
size of the gutters, rainwater, however, pours down the walls,
deteriorating them. Since the paving of the ground around
the church has not been finished, the consequences of the
penetration of humidity into the foundations can be noticed.

DESCRIPTION
The church, surrounded by the old graveyard, is
situated at the outskirts of the village Leo~ina, to the south
of the road Pe} - Kosovska Mitrovica, about 4 km to the east
of the village of Rako{a.
Only scanty historic data about the monastery can
be provided. It was mentioned in king Milutin’s charter
issued in 1314, as well as in certain Turkish documents from
1485, and, subsequently, on several occasions in the
Katastihos of Devi~ beginning with 1761, towards the end of
the 18th century.
The existing church was built on a sloping ridge
uphill from the graveyard, on the foundations of a th14
century church. According to the sources it used to be
dedicated to St Nicholas. The existing building was
constructed after the renewal of the Patriarchate of Pe}, in
the second half of the 16th century. It is a single-naved,
barrel-vaulted building, divided by a thick wall into a
narthex and a nave. The two units are connected by a narrow
passage in the wall. To the east, the church terminates in an
apse, semicircular inside and three-sided in the exterior.
Prothesis and diaconicon are merely arched niches in the
wall. The church was built of dressed limestone. The
position of the main door is unusual: the church is entered
through a door in the south wall of the narthex. The narthex

apertures are in the nave (three of them), and in the sanctuary

Fragments of the 16th century fresco decoration
have been preserved in the vault, on the west and east walls
of the narthex, as well as on the west wall of the nave, in the
lowest zone and in the conch of the apse, and in the
sanctuary niches – diaconicon and prothesis. They were
painted in the second half of the 16 th century by an
anonymous painter of considerable workmanship, who
might have been trained in the court workshop of the
renewed monastery of the Patriarchate of Pe}.
The church is surrounded by a large Serbian
cemetery, with about 200 tombs, which can be dated,
according to their shape and type of inscriptions, in theth17

qualities.

shallow niches above the western portal and above the

in the zone of standing figures, flanking the door. The
Dormition of the Virgin occupies the second zone of the west
wall. St Stephen and St Roman are depicted in the prothesis
and diaconicon, while the apse is occupied by the Service of
the Archbishops and the Holy Mother Wider than the Sky.
The Annunciation and fragments of the Ascension occupy
the second and the third zone of the eastern wall,

The icons of the iconostasis are a compilation of
various icons, mostly prints. Among the icons painted on
panel, St Elias (tempera on panel, 60×91.5×3 cm) bearing
the donor’s inscription from 1637; the Virgin of Smolensk,
St Sabbas the Sanctified, St Sava the Serb and St Nicholas,
as well as the Miracle of the Archangel Michael and the
Crucifixion, should be pointed out.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The old stone-slate roofing was replaces by the new
one, made of double-through roofing tiles. The facts that the
level of the floor is lower than the level of the ground, that
there is neither side-walk, nor drainage system around the
church, resulted in increased dampness in the lower zones of
the inner walls.
The frescoes have not undergone conservation
treatment. They are in very bad condition and are prone to
further deterioration.
The contamination of walls by capillary humidity
caused total deterioration of the socle decoration, and the
lower part of the first zone of frescoes. Above the lower
border of the preserved fresco decoration a belt of pulverized
paint layer can be seen. It is the most pronounced on the west

representations of the Service of the Archbishops and the
Holy Mother Wider than the Sky, both in the apse, are the
only remains of the original fresco decoration. In the south
corner of the fresco in the apse, an extensive donor’s
inscription of “God’s slave Jelena” has been preserved.
Two round stone slabs are preserved in the
pavement of the church. The first is made of white marble,
and has a soleil tournantornament in its centre, encircled
with eight triangles inscribed into fields composed of two
concentric circles. It has double bordure, reaching 126 cm in
diameter. The slab has been mortared into cement floor in
front of the iconostasis, as an ambo. The other marble slab
has been mortared into the floor of the narthex. It is
decorated with a more complicated ornament: two
intersected triangles form “David’s star”; the intersections
and the centre of the hexagram are adorned with circles,
while the arms of the star are filled with dart-like ornaments.
“David’s star” is encircled by triangles pointed towards it.
On one side of the damaged outer border an inscription about
“Stojan (to whom) sprouted in mire...” can be found. Both

Another stone monument related to the church of St

church, in a meadow on the opposite bank of the brook. In
October of 2001, when the inspection was undertaken, only
about 50 cm of the stone was uncovered, jutting beyond the
ground, run into weed on the abandoned meadow. This may
also be a secondarily used monument originating from the
monastery of Holy Archangels. The stone with an encircled
foliaged cross, Christ’s monogram and the inscription
“NIKA” was subsequently used as a kind of land-registry
certificate, since in 1592 an extensive inscription about

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church is covered with barrel roofing tiles,
while the apse still has the old stone-slate roof covering the
vault. Metal gutters put under concrete cornice, under the
eaves, concrete side-walk and socle are the results of recent
restoration.
Two cracks can be noticed on the east wall of the
sanctuary: minor closer to the north, and major closer to the
south wall. The nave and the sanctuary used to have fresco
decoration. Since the church is whitewashed, there is a
possibility that minor fragments of fresco decoration can be
found under the paint. The only uncovered part of mural
decoration can be seen in the apse: the fresco of the Holy
Mother Wider than the Sky in the second zone and the
Church Fathers in the first. Preserved frescoes are in poor
condition. Vertical crack in the fresco mortar runs down the
second zone in its entire height. On the image of Christ and
above it, on the Virgin’s neck and her left shoulder fragments
of fresco mortar are detached and falling off in great extent.
Lower zones are contaminated by capillary humidity up to
10 cm under the beginning of the first zone. Increased
efflorescence can be seen all over the lower zone, as well as
in the lower parts of the upper zone. Paint layer is covered
with dark layer of soot.

DESCRIPTION
The church is situated in the graveyard, uphill from
th century,
the village. It was built in the second half of the16
and it has been preserved in its original form. The church is
rectangular in plan, with an eastern apse, semicircular inside
and three-sided in the exterior. Masonry work can clearly be
seen since the façades are not coated: the church was built of
roughly cut limestone and rubble, bound with mortar. The
design of the eastern wall is untypical of the churches from
the region of Sirini}: a semicircular niche with a narrow
aperture, flanked with two smaller niches, identical in shape.
The portal on the west façade, ending in low-pitched
segmented arch and topped by a narrow segmented pediment
and a semicircular niche, has been covered by a latter-day
narthex. Low-pitched roof has been covered with pantiles.
The width of subsequently built nartex and the height of its
roof are equal to corresponding dimensions of the church.
The floor of the church is lower than the ground for about 50
cm. The nave is barrel-vaulted. Three wooden beams
(adorned with ornaments) act as bracing. Three niches of the
sanctuary, the apse and those flanking it, acting as prothesis

DESCRIPTION
Berevci is the largest village of Sirini}ka `upa. Its
earliest record has been preserved in the three inscriptions on
the 13th century Serbian Gospel Book from the National
Library in Paris. The village had two churches since theth16
century. The church of St Demetrius has not been preserved.
The site on which it was built is called Crkvica. The church
of St Paraskeve is very close to the houses at the border of
the village. In the course of time uphill from the church, the
graveyard took shape. According to the sources, the church
of the same dedication must have existed as early as the th14
century: an Octoich was copied in the church of St Paraskeve
in 1353.
It is a small single-naved church, rectangular in
plan, with a three-sided apse to the east, and a large,
subsequently built narthex. The church was built of stone. It
has double-pitched roof covered with double-through
roofing tiles. The apse has the original stone-slate roofing.
The nave is barrel-vaulted. The original pavement
of stone slabs and elevated stone solea have been preserved,
as well as the uncovered wooden beams acting as bracing.
The church is accessed through two doors in the south wall
of the narthex, which covered the original west portal. One
of its door wings is original: it has an iron door-knocker and

rough poured concrete pavement. Along with two doors, the
south wall of the narthex is fenestrated with a square window
reinforced by wooden boards.
A belfry, octagonal in plan, covered with hip tin-
plate roof, was built to the southwest of the church. The
outer side of its walls, built of stone, is coated with mortar
and whitewashed.
Figures of two military saints can be seen on the
outer side of the western wall of the nave. They are
surmounted by an inscription in which the name of the
painter, originating from the village of Gali~nik near Debar,
was mentioned. In another inscription, in the nave, above the
portal, the names of the donors and the year of 1858 were
recorded. The inner walls are covered with mural paintings
arranged in horizontal strips. The first zone shows standing
figures of the saints. However, the first zone of the north
wall is damaged – only the busts of the six saints represented
there have been preserved. The next belt is occupied by
medallions with saints represented in half-figure, while the
second zone shows the scenes from the Feast Cycle. The
frescoes in the north half of the vault are severely damaged
and tarnished – only the traces of two saints’ figures can be
discerned. The Holy Virgin of the Sign, carrying the
medallion with the representation of Christ on her breasts,
was depicted in the apse, as well as St John Chrisostome and
St Basil (in the lower zone of the apse). The Ascension
occupies the north niche. In the lower zone of the walls in

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001 STAWE SPOMENIKA 2001.

The church is in poor condition. Numerous deep
cracks, irregularly spread all over the vault, and descending
to the walls, have been recorded. They might be caused by
the building of the “hall”, by seismic disturbances, but they
may also be a consequence of poor quality of the
construction. The pitch of the roof is not high enough. The
roofing tiles are tarnished. Water from the roof pours down
the walls, which results in dampness of the lower zones of
the walls.
In the course of time, parts of mural decoration got
destroyed, probably due to unstable mortar coat, which
detached from the wall support. The deteriorated areas were
subsequently coated with mortar, but the frescoes have not
been restored. Numerous compositions are endangered by
cracks in the wall. The paint layer of the preserved parts of
fresco decoration is either faded or tarnished with soot.
The wood support of the major part of the icons on
the iconostasis is crackled, while on the borders of these
cracks the detached parts of the colour coat are either
unstable, or they have already fallen off. The icons are
covered with darkened varnishes and soot.

DESCRIPTION
The church of St Demetrius in Gornja Bitinja
was built in the 16th century. It is a single-naved building
with an eastern apse. It has a barrel-vault and a double-
pitched roof. The roof was originally covered with stone
slates, now replaced with metal plates. The exterior of the
apse was relieved with five semicircular niches having
double archivolts. Two semicircular niches, prothesis and
diaconicon, can be seen in the sanctuary. Consoles under the
frieze in the apse are merely decorative, without any
structural function. The archivolt of the western portal is
supported by cone-shaped corbels. Above the narrow
rectangular window on the south façade a deep blind niche
can be seen. The church was restored at the end of the
1990’s, when its façades were coated with mortar and
sprayed with ground stone.
The interior walls of the church were completely
covered in frescoes. Few damaged fragments are the only
remains of the original fresco decoration: the fragments of
the socle decoration on the eastern wall, under the altar;
deteriorated fragments of robes worn by two saints on the
west wall, to the south of the door, and the accompanying
part of the socle.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Due to recent restoration, the building is in good
condition.
Fresco mortar of the preserved fragments has been
partly detached from the wall and is likely to fall off,
especially in the socle of the eastern wall. The church was
restored. The covering of the roof was replaced with modern
roofing tiles. The walls and the vault are coated with mortar

under the layer of paint more fragments of the original fresco
decoration can be found. The walls are still contaminated
with capillary dampness.
The plating of the iconostasis is modern, made of
conifer boards. The prints, acting as icons are mounted on
the iconostasis regardless any iconographic scheme.

DESKRIPCIJA
Selo Drajkovci je oko 4-5 km udaqeno od
[trpca, sa desne strane Lepenca. Crkva Svetih
^etrdeset mu~enika nalazi se sa leve strane puta
koji od [trpca vodi ka Uro{evcu. Izgra|ena je
na malo podignutom terenu u odnosu na put. U
wenoj neposrednoj blizini nema seoskih ku}a, a sa
zapadne strane je seosko grobqe.
Crkva je izgra|ena {ezdesetih godinaXVI
veka, ali je posle 1690. stradala od Tatara, da bi
kasnije bila obnovqena. Radikalnim obnovama

The church and the
belfry, view from
the south
1690. It was subsequently restored. Radical restorations
considerably changed the original appearance of the church.
Large “hall” was built in 1976. A large-scale building
campaign was undertaken in 2000.
The church is small, rectangular in plan, with a
three-sided eastern apse. Double-pitched roof is covered
with double-through roofing tiles. The apse was covered
with stone slates until 1990, when it got new copper-plate
covering. The latter-day “hall” is rectangular in plan and its
highest point is considerably higher than the ridge of the
roof. Its eastern part is covered by a dome consisting of a
cylindrical drum and a calotte made of copper plates. A
belfry was attached to the west façade of the “hall” –
rectangular in plan, also topped by a copper-plate calotte. All
these rebuildins annihilated the original architectural and
ambient values of the church. There are, however, reasons to
believe that present church is not the one built in the second
half of the 16th century. It is possible that it was constructed
at the beginning of the 20th century on the site of the original
church.
The nave is barrel-vaulted, with a conch covering
the apse. The apse is flanked by two semicircular niches –
prothesis and diaconicon. The floor is paved with the old
standard bricks (30 ×16 cm). The walls are coated with
mortar and whitewashed. The north and south walls are
fenestrated with one window each. Those apertures are
different in shape and size, resembling loop-holes. Another
narrow aperture can be seen in the apse.
The “hall” has a poured concrete floor. Each of the
longitudinal walls is decorated with a row of five
semicircular apses, set at about 2.4 m in height. The hall is
also barrel-vaulted.
The iconostasis is plain, made of wood boards, and
has no artistic value. All the icons are prints.

Under current political circumstances Sirini}ka
`upa, at the foot of the mountain of [ara, acts as an important
Serbian centre in Metohija. This large enclave encompasses
twelve settlements populated by Serbs. In the situation when
the major part of Serbian population from Metohija is in
exile, while their houses are razed to the ground, preserved
villages in Sirini}ka `upa act as an important source for the
study of vernacular architecture. Although many research
workers tried to point out variety of forms and aesthetic
value of vernacular buildings in this region, not a single
example of vernacular architecture has been nominated a
cultural monument.

The staircase at the
ground-floor
One of the masterpieces of vernacular architecture
has been preserved in the hamlet Popovci in the village of
Gornja Bitinja. It is owned by the family of Stojan Popovi},
whose great-grandfather was a priest, and after whom this
object got the name “Priest’s house”. There is no information
when it was constructed. However, family tradition has
dated it in the 19th century.
It is a single-storied building, almost square in plan,
with well articulated structure of both ground-floor and the
upper story. Since the house belongs to asymmetric type, the
porch (ajat) is situated in the depth of the right wing of the
ground-floor. A staircase leads from porch to the upper story.
Under the staircase, to the right from the porch is a barn,
while at the outer right side a dairy can be seen, both made
of boards. The porch leads to a rather small chamber. The
right door of the chamber opens towards a large room in
which Popovi}, the priest used to welcome his guests. A fire-
place has been preserved in this room. The kitchen, which is
in front of the large room, is accessed directly from the yard.
Another fire-place has been preserved in the kitchen.
The upper floor has a large projecting timber
terrace (~ardak) supported by posts, and a narrow corridor
dividing the residential area into two parts. A part of the
original furnishing has been preserved in the rooms. Old
photographs can still be seen on the walls, while the old
books are still stored in the closets.
CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Present owner of the Priest’s House in Gornja
Bitinja takes great care about his heritage. He wants the
house to be restored and preserved for future generations.
The idea of converting the house into catering object, where
foreign tourists could take traditional meals has not been
realized yet, though it was discussed with the representatives
of the international community.
Technical drawings of the ground plan and the plan
of the upper story were taken during the inspection of the

The church, dedicated to the Dormition of the
Virgin, is situated in the graveyard, in the lower part of the
village. It was built in the second half of the 17th century.
The church had been in ruins until 1886, when it was
restored. It is an oblong, single-naved building, with a wide
apse having a narrow, rectangular, vertically positioned
window in its apex. On the outer side of the walls, built in
combination of ashlar and coursed-rubble, the joints of
mortar were smoothened down, after which façades were

inner side of the
walls is, however,

The lateral walls and
the apse have a
simple profiled lime-
stone cornice under
the eaves. The west
façade has an arched,
single-winged portal, surmounted by a semicircular niche.
South façade is fenestrated with two windows, positioned so
high that their tops reach the cornice. The apse has a narrow
window. Another very small aperture can be seen on the
gable, just above the apse. Low double-pitched roof and the
apse have been covered with used terracotta tiles. Simple
stone cross has been mounted on the west end of the ridge.
The floor of the church is lower than the ground. It
is paved with bigger bricks. The nave is barrel-vaulted. The
upper parts of the lateral walls are braced with three wooden
beams. The sanctuary has three niches: two lateral within the
wall. All three niches are joined with a horizontal stone slab
acting as altar. The altar is preceded by an elevated
semicircular solea, about half a metre higher then the nave.
In the territory of Sirini}ka `upa, the church in
Gotovu{a is a rare example of a church that has been
preserved in its original form, and that can be studied in its
entirety, since it has no subsequently built annexes that
would cover one of its facades.
The frescoes have been preserved on the east wall.
However, we don’t know whether they are preserved on the
walls that are whitewashed. The conch of the apse is
occupied by the Holy Virgin of the Sign – she has on her
breasts a medallion in which Christ making the gesture of
blessing was depicted. She has been depicted frontally, with
raised, outstretched arms. Wide areas covered with her red
robe act as figure’s background. She is flanked with St Basil

and St John Chrisostome. The representation of the Service
of the Archbishops was, in accordance with earlier models,
complemented with two angels acting as deacons. Of the two
deacons, usually depicted in the side niches, only half figure
of the left one was preserved. The saints are represented as
gentle, young men, with ornamented robes.
The wood part of the iconostasis was mounted on a
masonry lintel. According to the inscription on the lower
border of the icon of the Virgin, from the Sovereign Row,
signed by painter Jevgenije, born in Gali~nik Debarski, the
iconostasis was completed in 1888.
The disposition of the icons is typical of the
churches dating from the same period. The central part of the
iconostasis is occupied by the Royal Doors with the
representation of the Annunciation. Half-figures of Solomon
and David can be seen in small round fields on the doors,
above the Annunciation. The Sovereign Row is occupied by
the icons of Archangel Michael (the north door), the Virgin
with the Child, Christ and St John the Baptist. In the second
zone, a row of icons (20×35 cm) representing Christ and
twelve apostles can be seen. All of them have legible titles.
The iconostasis is topped by the Crucifixion with four
evangelists in the round fields at the ends of the arms of the
cross. The cross is flanked with icons representing the Holy
Virgin and St John. The icons of the Sovereign Row were
painted in oil on canvas, while all the other icons were
painted on panel. The socle is decorated with oval fields in
which vases with flowers were depicted.
Special attention should be paid to the inscribed
names of possible donors of the iconostasis, preserved in the
areas under the third zone.
The dormitory is situated to the northwest of the
church, touching its corner. It is rectangular in plan, with
deep vestibule to the south. A part of conspicuous hip roof is
supported by five concrete pillars, which replaced the
original timber posts. The original roofing was replaced with
double-through roofing tiles. However, the original massive
chimney has been preserved. The longitudinal south wall has
two low arched entrances and windows with wood grids
made of elements intersecting at a right angle, tied at the
intersections with round, wooden rings. There are two
chambers in the interior. In the minor one, to the west, a fire-
place has been preserved. In both chambers, authentic
carved wood consoles are attached to partition wall. In the
other chamber, rectangular in plan and considerably bigger
than the minor one, low stone bench was built along the
walls. Earthen floor has been recently covered with concrete.
The walls of the dormitory are built of stone bound
with mortar, and reinforced with massive bond-timbers.
Since the facades have been coated with mortar, the structure
of the wall remained uncovered only on the south wall,
which has not been restored.

dva |akona sa~uvan je do pojasa samo onaj u levoj

Drvena pregrada ikonostasa podignuta je

{to se saznaje iz zapisa na dowem rubu prestone
ikone Bogorodice, gde se potpisao Jevgenije
zograf, rodom iz Gali~nika Debarskog.
Raspored ikona je uobi~ajen za crkve iz
ovog perioda. Na sredini su niske carske dveri sa
Blagovestima. Iznad Blagovesti su, u malim
kru`nim medaqonima, dopojasni likovi careva
Solomona i Davida. Prestone ikone su: Arhan|eo
Mihailo (na severnim dverima), Bogorodica sa
Hristom, Isus Hristos i Sveti Jovan Prete~a.
Iznad prestonih ikona je niz ikona sa Hristom i
dvanaest apostola 20 h 35 sm sa ~itko ispisanim
signaturama, a iznad wih krst sa Raspe}em i
~etiri jeva|elista u medaqonima na kracima krs-

Jovana Bogoslova. Prestone ikone ra|ene su uqem

Posebnu pa`wu treba obratiti na

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The structure of the building is stable. The roof is in
bad condition, while the façades have darkened. Dampness
has been recorded in the lower zones of the walls. A crack
was noticed in the wall of the apse.
Two distinct phases can be distinguished in the
fresco decoration. Frescoes in the sanctuary belong to the
earlier phase, dated in the period immediately after the
construction of the church. Due to both conspicuous and
imperceptible cracks, the paint layer of those frescoes has
been considerably damaged. Certain areas, like the face of
the Virgin, or certain saints, as well as the whole figures, are
destroyed. The colour faded, as if it had been washed out.
Since no traces of soot have been found, it is possible that
the frescoes were “renovated’ by washing and rubbing in one
of the attempts of restoration.
The most endangered parts of the iconostasis are
the icons of the Sovereign Row. The colour coat of all those
icons shows numerous detaches. Large areas of colour coat
are missing together with the ground. The colour coats of the
Crucifixion and the icons representing the apostles are
stable. However, all those icons show minor damages, with
the exception of the icon of St Thomas, whose lower corners
are severely damaged, while the colour coat has been
destroyed.
The restoration of the dormitory was unprofes-
sionally done.

the Turkish census of 1455, as a village having 29 Serbs’
houses. Nowadays, the village encompasses about 200
houses.
There is a place near school, which the inhabitants
call Crkvine, because there once stood the old church of St
Paraskeve. Its ruins could be seen until the beginning of the
20th century. A legend says that an old icon from the church
of St Paraskeve “flew over” to the place on which a church
made of pine logs was subsequently built. Present church of
adobe was built in the 20th century, during thirties. It is
situated in the graveyard.
The church is small, rectangular in plan, with deep
semicircular apse to the east, and a simple masonry portal
ending in low-pitched segmented arch, to the west. Double-
pitched roof is covered with modern double-through roofing
tiles, while on the west front its pitch has been covered with
vertically positioned planks. The authentic stone-slate
covering was preserved on the apse. The façades are covered
with plain coat of mortar, without traces of friezes or other
ornaments. Plain iconostasis in the nave has no artistic value.
The floor has been paved with old stone slabs. In the
restoration undertaken during 1980’s, the authentic barrel
vault was converted into an unusual trapezoid vault.

DESCRIPTION
The church is situated on the hill, uphill from the
village, with a graveyard behind it. It was built in 1921 on
the site of an earlier, bigger church. During Turkish
occupation, it was dedicated to St Athanasius.
The church is oblong, single-naved, with a three-
sided apse to the east. A narrow aperture can be seen on the
apse, an arched portal and a window enclosed in a
semicircular niche on the west wall. The north wall has a
simple portal, smallish, low window and a buttress. A small,
low window, and an aperture that was probably subsequently
perforated can be seen on the south wall. The church was
built of limestone ashlars. All the wall surfaces were coated
with mortar. Double-pitched roof has been covered with
double-through roofing tiles, while the covering of the apse
has been cast in concrete. In the restoration campaign of
2000, the church was equipped with gutters, its facades were
restored, and it was surrounded with a concrete pavement.
The floor of the nave has two levels, while its
covering got the shape of a deep barrel-vault. The floor is
paved with inadequate dark, modern tiles. The walls are
covered with plain mortar coat and whitewashed. There are

dimensions and its design indicate that it may have been
built at the end of the 16 th or at the beginning of the 17
th
century. A narthex, which is too large and a belfry were
subsequently attached to the west front of the church.
It is a small single-naved building, rectangular in
plan, with an eastern, three-sided apse. On the eastern
façade, above the apse the outline of an earlier roof can be
seen. The original roof had somewhat lower pitch, more
suitable for its stone-slate covering. The present double-
pitched roof is covered with double-through roofing tiles.
Western façade, with a decorative niche and an arched stone
portal, was in the subsequent reconstruction turned into an
inner wall of the narthex. Another portal, with massive stone
door-step, and a small and narrow window to the right of it,
can be seen in the south wall. All the outer surfaces of the
walls have mortar coating, with the exception of the apse,
where the masonry work remained uncovered.
The church was built of stone bound with lime
mortar. The interior of the church is divided into two units by
a partition wall perforated by two arched passages
surmounted by a moulded frieze. The church is barrel-
vaulted. The sanctuary consists of a central apse flanked by
the niches of prothesis and diaconicon. The church has been
consolidated by iron bracing, while on the level of two thirds
of its height painted wooden beam acting as bracing can be
seen. The floor is paved with square stone slabs.
An older high-quality chandelier is a present of
Nedeljko Ajdar, an emigrant who brought it from the United
States.
Subsequently constructed oblong “hall”, the
narthex, somewhat wider than the church, covered its west
front. Its double-pitched roof, covering the barrel-vault, is
covered with double-through roofing tiles. Façades of the
narthex are coated with mortar. A little chamber, square in
plan and covered with a triple-pitched roof, attached to the
west side of the narthex, belongs to the third phase of

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
A wide crack along the vault indicates that
thorough sanation of the foundations is necessary. The
foundations demand protection that would imply total
elimination of the impact of weathering factors.
Certain parts of the fresco decoration are covered
with dark layer of soot. The frescoes are damaged around the
cracks, and around holes into which new bracing was fitted.
The frescoes that used to cover the eastern part of the vault,
over the sanctuary, are destroyed. There are no frescoes on
the partition wall, which is probably a latter–day
construction.
The iconostasis is affected by verminousness. The
colour coat of the icons has darkened and crackled.

built upon remains of the 16th century one. That new church
was restored in 1911. An inscription on a tablet above the
west portal provides the information about this restoration.
The church is small, single-naved, rectangular in
plan, with a deep three-sided apse to the east. The mortar
coat is moulded as an imitation of ashlar-work. The cornice
has step-like profile. Low-pitched roof is covered with
double-through roofing tiles. Two massive ashlars have been
preserved at the foot of the portal, finished in low-pitched
segmented arch. The portal is surmounted by a semicircular
niche, and a rectangular tablet with the inscription about the
restoration, above it. A little iron belfry is mounted on the
ridge of the roof. The window on the south wall is finished
in low-pitched segmented arch. The floor is paved with big
bricks. The church is covered with high barrel-vault. The
wings of the door are new, made of tin-plate.
Fresco decoration has not been preserved. Plain
iconostasis, made of wood boards has no artistic value.
In the immediate surroundings of the church, in the
field to the west, a monument to those inhabitants of
Sirini}ka `upa who were killed, died or disappeared in the
wars between 1912 and 1918 was erected. It is an obelisk,
cast in concrete, mounted on a triple-stepped basis. It is
enclosed by eight columns carrying heavy iron chain.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Since the church has no gutters, the frieze under the
eaves has been damaged by water pouring down the roof.
There is no protective pavement around the church, nor the
drainage system. Due to these facts, the dampness of the
foundations and zones around them is increased.
The iconostasis is affected by verminousness. The
colour coat of the icons is crackled and partly fallen off.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church and a little village graveyard, now
surrounded by Albanian population, are completely
dilapidated, run into weed. In the past, the church was
subject to certain unprofessionally done restoration
interventions. The conch of the apse shows wide crack in the
wall. The coating of the walls with mortar was not preceded
with sanation of the damp areas. The original roofing was
replaced with the new one, the mortar coat covered the
remains of the mural decoration, while the building
interventions on the west side of the church annihilated the
authentic qualities of the original design.
The monument demands investigation, which
would result in a conservation project after which the
restoration would be executed. The restoration should imply
recovering of the original elements in authentic materials –
starting with the recovery of the original design of the
building, and aiming to the restore the frescoes, if they are
preserved under new layer of paint.

DESCRIPTION
Vrbe{tica is a small, scattered village upon the left
bank of the river of Lepenac. According to the Turkish
census of the Brankovi} Region from 1455, it had 53 Serbs’
houses. The village used to have two churches: one
dedicated to St Peter – on the site where it used to stand the
fair is being kept on the feast of St Peter; and the other once
standing in the place now called Crkvi{te. The church of St
Elias, also built on the site of an earlier church, is situated on
the right side of the road. There are no houses in its
surroundings. A vertical rock (serpentinite) in its immediate
surroundings suggests that it must have been necessary to
make an artificial plateau in order to prepare site for the
construction of the church. To the left of the road a mountain
river can be seen. There is a tradition among the inhabitants
about “huge church with 13 doors” once existing in the
village, which was many years ago carried away by flood. It
is believed that the churches in this village, as well as
elsewhere in Sirini}ka `upa, were built after the renewal of
the Patriarchate of Pe} in 1577.
The church is small single-naved, oblong, with a
deep apse, which is semicircular inside and five-sided in the
exterior. It was built of stone. During recent restoration its
walls were consolidated with concrete cerclages. Bearing
walls are 1 m thick. The façades are covered with plain coat
of mortar and sprayed with ground stone. Double-pitched
roof is covered with double-through roofing tiles, while the
roofing of the apse was cast in concrete. The ridge of the roof
is topped by a smallish belfry of a modern iron construction,
covered with tin pyramidal cap. Semicircular niche above
the portal is topped by a cross, moulded in mortar, now
missing the vertical arm. Another door can be found in the
south wall, as well as a small window with iron grid. The
apse has a vertically positioned aperture.
The church used to have pavement made of stone
slabs, but it has been replaced by a concrete floor. In the altar

DESCRIPTION
The church in Uro{evac was built in the period
between 1926 and 1933 after the project of Josif Marinkovi}.
It is a monumental, five-domed building, whose construction
was inspired by Gra~anica. Its plan is a combination of a
cross-in-square and triconchos. It has a narthex, lower than
the nave, to the west. Its construction was conceived as a
combination of the style of king Milutin’s endowments and
architectural features of the Morava School. The church was
built in brick. Its walls were coated with mortar both inside
and outside. Central dome is supported by solid pillars plated
with marble ashlars, and surmounted with massive capitals.
The façades are dominated by horizontal grooves in
the mortar, featuring cloisonné technique, archivolts
decorated with dog tooth friezes and imitations of terracotta
elements and chessboard ornament.
The church used to have iconostasis of considerable
dimensions, with the icons contemporary to the construction
of the church.
It also used to house a collection of 19th century icons.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church, situated in the city centre, is being
protected by Greek KFOR units. In several places on the
northwest part of the façade, mortar has fallen off,
uncovering the structure of the wall: the church was built in
brick bound with thick mortar joints. The two tones of paint
were sprayed onto facades: the darker one in the socle, and
the pale one on the remaining wall surfaces. Water pouring
from the gutter damaged the mortar on the apse. The wall on
the eastern side is wet because a part of the gutter is missing.
Stains can be seen on the south wall and the part surrounding
the entrance. They are made by pieces of garbage thrown
into the churchyard.
Minor stain caused by leaking can be noticed on the
inner wall of the south conch. Minor damages are recorded
in the calottes of the corner domes. An attempt to put the

damages of the thrones and iconostasis’ plating have been

The village of Lo}ane is mentioned in the Charter
granted to the monastery of De~ani, issued in 1330.
According to a legend, Danilovi}’s log cabin is older than
the monastery since the fire lit in the monastery for the first
time was taken from its fire-place. The insight into historical
circumstances in Kosovo and Metohija, and the analysis of
the architectural features of the cabin, showed that it was
probably built after the monastic life was re-established in
the monastery in the first half of the 18th century. Stages of
its subsequent remodellings are the testimony about the
process of transformation of Serbian rayah (rightless

Christian Turkish subjects) into feudal tenants.
The Danilovi}’s log cabin was a large, ground-
floored edifice, made of chestnut tree planks, with hip roof
covered by plain terracotta roofing tiles. Originally, its
interior was not partitioned. In the course of time, a wattle
partition wall was made in order to divide the room into two
sections - one for the people and the other for cattle.
Subsequent shift from the lowland type of cabin toward
tenant’s house was indicated by the addition of a room and a
pantry connected by the porch.
This exceptionally valuable cultural monument
attracted the attention of the experts as early as the 1950’s,
when architect Branislav Koji} pointed out to the
significance of this old type of house, found in Metochian
villages, and its relation to the monastery of De~ani. In his
book “Village Architecture and Rurality”, the author referred
to this cabin as the “type of house dictated by the social
position of its owners”. The significance of Danilovi}’s log
cabin was pointed out by Ranko Findrik and Nade`da Pe{i}-
Maksimovi}. The monograph, which threw light upon all the
aspects of research and treatment of this monument from the
past centuries, was written by Bo`idar Krstanovi}.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The house was destroyed in 1999.

Ku}a Danilovi}a je velika prizemna
gra|evina, sagra|ena od kestenovih brvana,
~etvoroslivnog krova pokrivenog }eramidom.
Prvobitno je bila jednodelne osnove, da bi s
vremenom wena unutra{wost bila podeqena
pletenom pregradom na prostoriju za stanovawe
qudi i prostor za sme{taj stoke. Dogradwa sobe
i ostave, koje su povezane tremom, ukazuju na
promenu tipa ove stambene zgrade iz ravni~arske
brvnare u ku}u ~if~ijskog tipa.
Ovaj izuzetno vredan spomenik kulture
privukao je pa`wu stru~ne javnosti jo{ pedesetih
godina XX veka, kada je arhitekta Branislav Koji}
istakao wen zna~aj kao stare seoske ku}e u
Metohiji i wenu vezanost za manastir De~ane.
Isti autor je u svojoj kwizi "Seoska arhitektura
i rurizam" lo}ansku brvnaru tretirao kao "tip
ku}e uslovqen socijalnim polo`ajem wenih
vlasnika". O wenom zna~aju pisali su Ranko
Findrik, Nade`da Pe{i}-Maksimovi}, a posebnu
monografiju, koja je istakla sve aspekte
istra`ivawa i tretmana jednog izuzetnog
spomenika pro{losti, napisao je Bo`idar
Krstanovi}.

DESCRIPTION
All the protected residential towers (kullas) belong
to the same type of fortified house: rectangular in plan, with
massive walls, which have the same thickness from the
ground to the top, usually consisting of a ground-floor and
one or two stories. Generally speaking, all of them were built
upon the same scheme, with similar ground plan and the
organization of space. The ground-floor was occupied by
stables. In some towers it also housed a kitchen. The first
floor was occupied by chambers used by members of the
household, while the second was reserved for the guests. In
one of the corners in the second floor an oriel window was
built – a deep projecting loggia fenestrated with windows
arranged in a strip. Musa Iber Hisay’s tower was built in the
19th century.

DESCRIPTION
The tower of the Loshaj family is an example of the
late 18th century country house – a tower (kulla). It belongs
to the type of towers with timber gallery, projecting, like an
oriel window, from the main, south, façade. The house had
two minor galleries projecting from the eastern and western
façades (the western one is missing). Those galleries are
adorned with conspicuously decorated profiles. Special

attention was paid to the decoration of the main, guest-room.
It was equipped with decorated fire-place, closets, shelves,
door and ceiling made of interlocked boards.
Two-story tower is rectangular in plan, while its hip
roof is covered with terracotta roofing tiles. The structure
and the organization of space are identical with those of the
other towers of this type. Although it lost certain original
architectural features, its structure and function have not
been affected by subsequent interventions.
The tower is entered through two doors - in the
ground-floor and in the first story. The outer side of the door
and the windows has arcuated ashlar framing. The tower has
ashlar quoins – those of the main façade are a very
conspicuous feature of its architecture. Stone and timber are
the chief materials used in the construction of the tower. Its
clear architectural forms make both the tower and its
surroundings a very pleasing sight.

from 1362, in which a man called Danilo, a feudal lord and
tchelnik, most probably the donor of the first church, was
mentioned. In the 16th century Turkish documents, the
church was registered as the “Monastery of \urko”, with its
estates and revenue. Thanks to the efforts of the local people
headed by priest Cvetko, it was restored in the th
16century.
The inscription documenting the restoration and painting of
the church, carried out in 1592, can be seen above the
entrance into the nave. It was written by the artist himself,
the “sinful Milija zograph”. Mural decoration of average
value, preserved on some 10 m 2, was restored in 1863.
Another inscription about the restoration, which is not
entirely decipherable, was carved into the front of the door-
post of the western door of the narthex. The names of the
donor, priest Radoje, and the wood-carver from a nearby
village of Tomanci, were mentioned in the inscription. The
names of Andrija, brother of Patriarch Arsenije IV
Jovanovi}, and bishop Teodosije, from the village of
\urakovac, were also mentioned in the inscriptions
preserved in the church, dating from 1734 and 1768
respectively. Several records of the church, anterior to the

built of dressed stone bound with lime mortar. The church
had stone-slate roofing. The apse, to the east, was
semicircular inside and three-sided in the exterior. The altar
table was flanked by semicircular niches of prothesis and
diaconicon. The western door was surmounted by a
semicircular lunette. Rustic façades, which were not white-
washed, made of rubble bound with lime mortar, stone-slate
roofing, and the simple profile of the cornice made of stone
and limestone, were the main features of the church’s
architecture.
The churchyard was enclosed by a wall, and partly
paved with stone.
During the restoration campaign of 1968, the vault
and the roof were restored and reinforced with armoured
concrete cerclages.
The church housed an extensive fresco ensemble
dating from the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th
century. The first zone was occupied by standing figures of
saints – SS Sava and Simeon, Holy Doctors, military saints,
great martyrs, archbishops; St Stephen was depicted in the
niche of the prothesis, the Service of the Archbishops could
be seen in the apse, while the diaconicon was occupied by a
representation of St Roman. Scenes from the Life of St
Nicholas were depicted in the second zone, on the walls of
the nave, while the conch of the apse was occupied by the
Holy Mother Wider than the Sky, flanked by Archangels.
The parts of the Annunciation were depicted on the eastern
wall, flanking the apse.
The church possessed ten icons painted by the
authors of the frescoes in the churches in ^abi}i and Dolac.

bridle paths. The nearest communication is the Pe}-Klina-
Pri{tina railroad, which runs at the foot of the hill, about
1 km to east of the church.
The ruins of the church of SS Peter and Paul, once
the church of the monastery of Petrovica (Unjimira, Ujmira),
are situated uphill from the River Klina, near the spring, after
which the place must have got its name. St Peter of Kori{a
was ordained in this church. The monastery was a metochy
of De~ani.
The original church was built in the 13th century.
The present one is the result of remodellings and rebuildings
undertaken on several occasions since the second half of the
14th century, when the earliest part of the present church –
the narthex, was built. It is believed that the church was built
by masons from Kotor, close to those working in De~ani.
Only the fragments of the original fresco decoration
have been preserved in the narthex. The frescoes from the
second half of the 14th century have also been preserved in
fragments. In the 1960’s, the largest preserved composition
was the depiction of Joachim the Righteous, situated in the
arch of the old, wide entrance leading from the narthex into
the nave. The fresco, which underwent conservation

Ostaci crkve Svetog Petra i Pavla,
nekada crkve manastira Petrovice (Uwimira,
Ujmira), nalaze se na nad rekom Klinom, nedaleko
od vrela po kome je mesto verovatno dobilo ime.
U manastiru se svojevremeno postrigao i sveti
Petar Kori{ki. Manastir je bio metoh De~ana.
Prva crkva na ovom mestu izgra|ena je u
XIII veku, a sada{wa je rezultat prepravki i
dozi|ivawa u nekoliko faza, po~ev od druge
polovine XIV veka, kada je nastao najstariji deo
dana{we crkve - sada{wa unutra{wa priprata.
Pretpostavqa se da su je zidali majstori iz
Kotora, bliski graditeqima De~ana.
Od prvobitnog `ivopisa sa~uvani su samo
fragmenti u unutra{woj priprati. I freske iz
druge polovine XIV veka sa~uvane su samo
fragmentarno. [ezdesetih godina ovog veka,
najve}a sa~uvana kompozicija bila je predstava

treatment and was copied, was subsequently damaged. Only
the face of the saint survived, and it can be seen in the
church, bordered with new mortar. Since those times, the
image of St Joachim was exposed to additional mechanical
damages. Beneath the figure of St Joachim a fragment of the
fresco showing a saint wearing sandals, with bare legs –
probably St John the Baptist, was preserved. The eastern
side of the pilaster was occupied by a badly damaged
depiction of a deacon, probably St Roman. As early as the
end of the 1950’s, the images in the niches of the southern
wall were severely damaged and hardly decipherable. Only
the image in the right niche can, according to the
photographs, be identified with the representation of the
Holy Virgin of the Sign, while the saint to the left is
unidentifiable. These are probably the frescoes from the 14th
century.
The church was deserted at the end of the 15th
century and reinstated after 1557. The old church was then
converted into a narthex, while a new rectangular nave, with
an altar apse, replaced the old sanctuary. The arch, supported
by pilasters, was walled in. The 14th century church was
covered by a barrel vault. The walls also underwent
alterations, as witnessed by the shape of the southern
window, which becomes narrower towards the outer face of
the wall. A new entrance was opened in the south wall of the
narthex. In the same time, the church got a large, storied
exonarthex. Walls of the exonarthex and the new nave,
which are built in rubble, are clearly distinguished from
dressed stone and limestone bond of the corpus of the earlier
church.
It seems that during the 1557 restoration fresco
ensemble was restricted to a limited choice of necessary
scenes. A fresco representing the Virgin with the Child, in
the niche above the entrance to the nave, is the only remain
of the frescoes painted in the second half of the 16th century.
During small-scale conservation and restoration
campaign in the 1966-1967, the nave and the apse got stone-
slate roofing. The eastern part of the vault and the wall of the
nave were rebuilt on the same occasion. A fresco depicting
St Joachim and the sepulchral slab of “God’s slave” Stepan
were discovered in the course of the restoration works.
Unfortunately, the sepulchral slab was broken, and its
remains were scattered by the next year, 1968. Stone-slate
roofing was removed before 1997.

dodatno mehani~ki o{te}en. Ispod wegove figure
sa~uvan je fragment freske svetiteqa golih nogu
u sandalama, verovatno svetog Jovana Prete~e. Na
isto~noj strani pilastra bila je veoma o{te}ena
figura nekog |akona, verovatno svetog Romana.U
ni{ama na ju`nom zidu ve} krajem 50-tih godina
ovog veka bile su veoma o{te}ene i te{ko
~itqive figure, od kojih se samo ona u desnoj
ni{i mo`e prepoznati na osnovu fotografija kao
Bogorodica Znamewa, dok svetiteqa na levoj
strani nije mogu}e identifikovati. Verovatno su
u pitawu freske iz XIV veka.
Crkva je krajem XV veka zapustela, a
obnovqena je posle 1557. godine. Tada je stara
crkva pretvorena u pripratu, pri ~emu je umesto
nekada{weg oltarskog dela dozidan novi naos
pravougaonog oblika sa oltarskom apsidom, a
zazidan luk koji nose pilastri. Crkva iz XIV veka
je tada pokrivena poluobli~astim svodom, a
prezi|ivawa i prepravke do`iveli su i zidovi, na
{ta ukazuje oblik ju`nog prozora koji se su`ava
prema spoqnom licu zida. Istom prilikom je
otvoren i ju`ni ulaz u pripratu. U to vreme crkva
je dobila i veliku spoqnu pripratu na dva sprata.
Priprata i novi naos zidani su sitnim lomqenim
kamenom, {to ih jasno izdvaja od korpusa ranije
crkve, koja je pravilnije zidana pritesanim
kamenom i sigom.
Izgleda da je `ivopisawe pri obnovi
posle 1557. godine svedeno samo na naju`i izbor
neophodnih scena. Od slikarstva iz druge
polovine XVI veka sa~uvane su scene Bogorodice
sa Hristom u ni{i iznad ulaza u naos.
Prilikom skromnih konzervatorsko-
restauratorskih radova 1966-1967. godine, naos i
apsida su dobili krovni pokriva~ od kamenih
plo~a. Tada je iznova ozidan i isto~ni deo svoda
i zida naosa. Prilikom ovih radova otkrivena je
freska svetog Joakima i prona|ena je nadgrobna
plo~a raba Stepana, koja je, na `alost, ve} do
slede}e, 1968. godine potpuno razbijena i
razbacana. Krovni pokriva~ od kamenih plo~a
skinut je pre 1997. godine.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
According to an Albanian boy who was leading
KFOR soldiers, the southwestern part of the exonarthex was
damaged during a KLA shooting drill from a nearby hill.
Stone-slate roofing was removed from the nave and
Southwestern corner of
the exonarthex after the
grenading
the altar apse, leaving the vault unprotected. There is not a
single door left on the entire building, and the nave is being
used as a shelter for cattle. The interior of both nartheces is
run into weed and shrubs. The exonarthex is buried under
pieces of collapsed wall. Only one column base in the
exonarthex remained of all formerly found bases and
capitals, belonging to the original building.
The border of the recent damage beneath the head
of St Joachim shows that fresco mortar detached from the
wall. It is feared that preserved part of the fresco may fall
off. A copy of the fresco was made during restoration works
and is kept in the Fresco Gallery in Belgrade.
At the foot of the southern pilaster, on the eastern
wall of the narthex, a fresco fragment showing the lower part
of the legs (the section from above the knee downward) of
an unknown saint has been preserved.. The very feet are
hidden from view by pieces of the collapsed wall. That wall

the new nave. The above-mentioned wall, i.e. the fill-up of
the eastern wall of the former nave, covers the north pilaster
and the intrados of the arch, hiding the uncovered fragments
of the 14th century fresco decoration.
The fresco from the second half of the 16th century,
situated in the semi-round arched niche above the door in the
eastern wall of the narthex, has been badly damaged. Paint
layer has been partly preserved in the upper section of the
fresco, showing the upper part of the halo, slightly shifted to
the left. It might be the halo of the Virgin from the
representation of the Holy Virgin with the Child. Fresco
mortar, preserved in greater extent, has been damaged due to
long-term deteriorating impact of dampness. Since there are
no traces of efflorescence, one comes to the conclusion that
the damages were caused by atmospheric humidity
penetrating from the surface of the fresco into the depth of
wall. Fresco mortar and paint layer in the arch of the niche,
showing decorative pattern, are in considerably better
condition.

DESCRIPTION
The monastery is situated on an elevated plateau
overlooking the village of Dolac, by the trunk road Pe}-
Klina-Pri{tina.
The first record of the monastery of Dolac can be
found in the Turkish census of 1455. At that time, the village
was the administrative centre of the county (nahija). The
monastery complex consisted of an enclosing wall, which
did not follow the line of the earlier fortification, the church
of the Presentation of the Holy Virgin in the Temple, in the
centre of the enclosed area; a tower, which is now
demolished, to the east, outside the enclosed area; remains of
the old dormitory built against the southern part of the
perimeter wall; the new dormitory with the ground floor
built of stone and the timber-framed upper story to the
southwest of the church; recently built belfry, to the
southeast of the church, and the ground-floor of the new
dormitory, to the south of the old one.
The original church was probably built at the end of
the 14th century. It was restored in the 15th and, again, at the
beginning of the 17th century. It was single-naved,
rectangular in plan, with a barrel vault built of dressed stone
and bricks bound with lime mortar. It had stone-slate
roofing. The church had a semicircular apse on its eastern
side. Remains of two semicircular niches, which used to
flank the altar table – prothesis and diaconicon, can still be
seen in the eastern wall of the sanctuary. The façades were
white-washed. Very conspicuous details on the façades were
semicircular gables outlining the shape of the vault, above
the west door and the eastern apse.
Parts of the enclosing wall, belfry, the main gate
and the drinking fountain date from the time of restoration.
The earliest frescoes, from the first zone of the
northern and western walls, could be dated to the end of the
14th or the beginning of the 15th century. Their style is
similar to that of the workshop of hieromonach Makarije,
brother of metropolitan Jovan from Zrze, which indicates
that the frescoes in Dolac might have been painted around
1395 or between 1402 and 1405.

The south wall of the nave, frescoes

beams in the wall
furnishings, can be seen in the interior of the church.
Damages of fresco decoration, caused by high temperature
indicate that the furnishings of the church were not the only
burning agent, since their combustion could not produce
such a high temperature. A large heap of dry twigs was found
in front of the church entrance, which had obviously been
used to fuel the arson.
High temperatures, caused by the fire, completely
destroyed the paint layer, the upper zones of which are now
covered with a layer of soot, while the general tone of the
other parts was shifted toward reddish and brownish hues of
earth pigments, rich in iron-trioxide. When exposed to high
temperatures, iron-trioxide changes into iron-dioxide and
acquires the colour of rust. Husks contained by fresco mortar
mostly burnt, leaving holes in the mortar. Fresco mortar is
now crumbly. There are hollows in the walls left after the
burnt bond-timbers. In these places, the support of the fresco
mortar was destroyed, which resulted in falling off of the
fresco layer. The iconostasis was completely destroyed in the
fire.

and bricks bound with lime mortar, and covered with stone
slates. The altar apse, to the east, was semicircular both
inside and outside. The altar table was flanked by two
semicircular niches in the eastern wall of the sanctuary –
prothesis and diaconicon. A massive belfry was erected in
front of the western door of the narthex in the 19th century.
Façades were whitewashed. The churchyard was enclosed
by a masonry wall, coated with mortar. It was entered
through a metal gate.
During the 1968 reconstruction works, the vault
and the roof of the church were restored with traditional
materials, such as dressed stone, limestone and bricks, but
they were reinforced by armoured concrete cerclages.
The exact date of the construction of the church is
not known. It is, however, assumed that the nave could have
been built in the 14th century, while the narthex was dated to
the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century. The
belfry is obviously a latter-day construction – probably built
at the end of the 19th century.
Frescoes in the narthex, according to a preserved
inscription, were painted in 1603.
The frescoes in the lower zone of the western wall,
and the parts of the northern, southern and eastern walls of
the narthex were preserved. The compositions in the third
zone of the eastern wall and in the vault of the narthex were
partly preserved.
The 16th and 17th century icons and liturgical
vessels were kept at the church.

The church was mined and levelled with the ground
by the Albanian extremists, after the arrival of KFOR. The
only preserved part is the eastern wall of the nave with the
altar niche. It remained in vertical position, though a
horizontal crack detached it from the foundations, shifting it
for about 30 cm eastward.
The narthex was destroyed. While visiting the site,
on July 18, 2001, not a single fresco fragment was found. It
is possible that some fragments of the smashed fresco
decoration can be found in the rubble.
A piece of fresco mortar uncovered by paint was
found on the preserved, lower, southern section of the
western wall of the nave. It was probably reinforced by
bristle. A sample of it was taken for analysis.

DESRIPTION
The church dedicated to St Nicholas is situated in
the village of Mle~ane, the municipality of Klina.
The church was built in the central part of an old
cemetery, on a plateau uphill from the village. It was built of
limestone bound with mortar. In 1961, the original walls
were preserved up to about 1.70 m in height. The church was
oblong, single-naved, divided into a narthex, to the west, and
a nave, to the east. It had an eastern apse, semicircular, both
inside and outside. The thickness of the outer walls of the
church and the partition wall between the narthex and the
nave were the same. These massive walls were built of
dressed stone and limestone. The door leading into the nave
was encompassed by an arch containing a lunette. The
longitudinal barrel vault, built of dressed stone and
limestone bound with lime mortar, was covered with stone-
slate roofing. Two semicircular niches of prothesis and
diaconicon, flanking the altar table, can be seen in the
eastern wall of the sanctuary. The sanctuary was defined by
pilasters and an arch outlining the shape of the vault.
Façades were not whitewashed. A semi-round recessed
lunette above the western door was a very conspicuous detail
on the rustic walls made of dressed stone bound with lime
mortar. Double-pitched roof was covered with stone slates.
The western narthex was built at the same time as
the church. Icons are dated to 1601-1602, after an
inscription, still decipherable in the 1930’s, saying that the
church was founded by all villagers headed by priest Nikola.
Compositions preserved on the south, north and
western walls of the narthex were painted at the beginning of
the 17th century.
The niche of the prothesis, in the eastern wall of the
sanctuary, was occupied by a bust of Christ, while the
Archdeacon Stephen was depicted in the diaconicon. The
Service of the Archbishops, with four archbishops, was
depicted in the altar apse. To the right of the apse, an

Annunciation, in the second zone, flanked the apse.
Figures of three saints were preserved on the
pilaster separating the sanctuary from the nave, in the
northern wall of the nave. Compositions like the Vision of St
Peter of Alexandria and Imago Pietatis could be seen in the
sanctuary. Images of St Roman and John the Merciful, St
Sylvester (both on pilasters), St Nicholas, Stephen De~anski,
and the archangels were preserved in the first zone of the
south wall of the nave. The second zone of the same wall
was occupied by the Last Supper and Washing of the Feet,
scenes from the Passion of Christ. Fragments of a depiction
of an Archangel, Emperor Constantine and Empress Helena
could be seen on the western wall.
The reconstruction of partly ruined church was
undertaken in 1968. Its structure was reinforced by armoured
concrete cerclages. Remains of 1601/1602 fresco decoration
underwent conservation treatment.

CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
Escorted by the Italian KFOR unit, Mnemosyne
Centre team of experts visited the site on July 18, 2001. It
has been established that the church was demolished,
according to the soldiers, most probably by grenading. A
grenade crashed into the western part of the church, but the
explosion failed to destroy the eastern wall with the altar
apse, and lower sections of southern and northern walls of
the nave. Severely damaged fragments of fresco decoration
that underwent conservation treatment can be seen on the
northern and southern walls. The lower parts of the walls are,
however, covered with rubble.
The other parts of fresco decoration, on the walls
that were shattered by a detonation show numerous cracks.

Fresco mortar around the cracks has mostly fallen off.
Although there are areas in which fresco mortar is still fairly
well attached to the support, the major part of it is detached
and likely to fall off – along the borders of the recent
damages in particular. Lime mortar fillings applied in 1968
on the borders of damages are still well attached to the fresco

Dubrovnik.
An inscription of the bishop of Prizren, Joanikije,
mentioning the Liturgy celebrated on July 1, 1871 in the
church, was preserved in the sanctuary. Giljferding
documented that in the mid-19th century the monastery was
in ruins, well preserved though. He also mentioned frescoes
being whitewashed.
Thanks to the spreading cult of the healing water
whose spring was in the churchyard, the monastery was an
extremely popular pilgrimage site. During its long history, it
had a rich library and a treasury, while in the 19th century it
also housed a school.

The southern side is also occupied by residential buildings.
Since the terrain is sloping downward, the ground floor of
the northern section is connected, via the western side of the
building, to the first floor of the southern wing. The wooden
roof construction was destroyed in the fire. The residential
buildings were covered with double-trough roofing tiles.
The church was mined and destroyed. The remains
of the walls are buried under a 1.5 m high pile of rubble left
after the ceiling collapsed. The ceiling was made of a
reinforced concrete slab and anchorages for metal plates that
had been taken away. Parts of the metal construction and
metal plates can be found in the yard. Stone was the chief
material used for the construction of the walls, while the
vault was built of limestone. Fragments of a cornice, made
of cut and bossed stone, can be seen in the rubble.

is situated in the village of Belo Polje, to the south of Pe}, at
the foot of the Ple{-Koprivnik mountain range, on the right
bank of the River Kamenica-Su{ica. An old church site on
the hill Krst (Cross), to the northeast of the village, and a
cave called Careva stolica (Emperor’s chair) or Razboj (The
Loom), to its north, can be seen in the surroundings of the
village.
The earliest record of Belo Polje is to be found in
the charter issued by king Stephen De~anski in 1327.
It is believed that the present church was built
between 1866 and 1868, thanks to the efforts of the
archimandrite of De~ani, Kiril Andrejevi}, and that its
construction was sponsored by the Russian tsarina Maria
Alexandrovna. The church is surrounded by the old
cemetery, with several stone crosses bearing inscriptions and
ornaments.
The church is rectangular in plan, divided by four
massive pillars into three aisles. The eastern, altar apse is

The floor was paved
with stone slabs
among which a sepulchral slab bearing a 14th century
inscription can be seen.
The frescoes from the nave and the sanctuary were
only partly investigated. It is believed that they were painted
by the artists from the family of Krsti}-Daskalovi}-
\inovski, but it is also possible that some compostions were
painted by the members of the workshop of the Lazovi}
family. Among the painted saints, depictions of Stephen
De~anski, St Sava, St George, St Demetrius, etc. can be seen.
These frescoes are accompanied by donors’ inscriptions.
A collection of books, liturgical vessels and icons,
one of which is a 15th or 16th century Italo-Cretan icon of the
Holy Virgin with the Child, is kept in the church. While the
church was built due to the efforts of some distinguished
locals, frescoes, icons and other liturgical objects were
donated by members of guilds and other individuals, as it
was documented in numerous notes and inscriptions.
Inscriptions can also be found on other church
objects and on many icons. The Royal Doors bear a nine
lines long text, mentioning all the donors from the village of
Pi{tane, as well as the name of the painter Vasilije Krsti}
Daskalovi} from Gali~nik. Beside the Royal Doors, the
following icons and their inscriptions were catalogued and
published: the Holy Virgin with the Child, Christ
Pantokrator and the Nativity of Christ. It has been recorded
that the church possessed 30 icons, mostly uninvestigated
and unknown to public, with the inscriptions in Serbo-Slavic
and Greek, but also in Turkish, written in Arabic script.
The books are also mentioned in the register of the
antiquities preserved in the church: 18th and 19th century
Russian printed books among them. Clappers,
candleholders, analogions and about fifteen hanging icon
lights made of silver and brass were recorded.

vandalized by Albanian extremists in 1999.
The interior of the church interior was damaged by
fire. Numerous damages made by bullets can be seen on the
facades. Similar traces can be noticed inside the church, as
well. The most severe damages were caused by arson, which
left a very thick layer of soot on the mural paintings. Parts of
frescoes lost their authentic colouring due to high

The upper construction remained stable. Only
occasional damages of the mortar, caused by fire, can be
found. The pavement of the church was exposed to the most
serious damages. Windows were also severely damaged. The
front door was vandalized and damaged on both sides, which
allows cattle to go in and out freely.
The iconostasis was damaged, too. The cross,
thirteen icons from the third zone and parapet slabs from the
first row are missing. Two icons of the Sovereign Row, and
two other next to them, with figures unrecognizable due to
damages caused by fire and, judging by the holes, by bullets,
can still be seen on the iconostasis. Traces of resinous
mixture of indistinct origin, which dripped over them, were
also noticed.
Broken pieces of furniture, iconostasis and metal
vessels were found on the church floor.
It is necessary to repair the damaged roofing,
windows and the doors. The church should be closed.
Partly damaged mortar covering the inner walls and
the floor also need repair. The church must be cleaned. Wall

DESRIPTION
The house of the Proti} family was built around
1860. With symmetrical disposition of spatial units and the
cross-shaped hall, it represented a prototype of a Pe} town
house. The quality of building, the richness of its furnishing,
the purity of style and its good condition made it a valuable
document of architectural style of the time.
The house was situated between the river of
Bistrica and a street running parallel with it. Its main façade
was facing east. Judging by the disposition of the main
rooms, it seems, however, that the preference was given to
the southern side. Unlike the “G” type of buildings,
somewhat elongated in appearance, this building was almost
square in plan: 14m x 13m.
Both sections of the house had two stories. The
cross-shaped hall in the ground floor, with solid stone walls,
was partitioned into smaller rooms - two front dwelling
rooms and two storerooms at the back. A hall scheme, in the
shape of a cross with rooms in the corners, was completely
elaborated and could be seen on the first floor. Two arms of
the cross (the northern and the western ones) are occupied by
the staircase and a wash-room, while the eastern and
southern arms were elongated, with an elevated floor, and
turned into oriel windows (}o{ke). The eastern oriel window
was so elongated that it needed two pillar supports. In that
way, symmetric appearance typical for this type of houses
was achieved.

The city of Pe} is the heart of Metohija. The first
record of its name dates back to 1202. In the Middle Ages
Pe} was the seat of the Serbian archbishopric, as well as an
important church and cultural centre. Before long a
marketplace, serving the needs of the monastery and the
nearby villages, evolved in the surroundings of the
archbishopric. In the 14th century the settlement had a
developed marketplace and merchants from Kotor among its
inhabitants. Pe} was under the Ottoman rule since the

DESRIPTION
The Church of St Nicholas was built in the 16th
century as a single-naved, barrel-vaulted building with a
semicircular altar apse. A narthex, somewhat larger that the
church was subsequently added, most probably during the
restoration in the 19th century. The narthex is, like the nave
(of the old church), barrel-vaulted and covered with stone
slates. The western wall of the original church was pulled
down during the restoration, in order to unite the nave and
the narthex into a single unit. In front of the western entrance
into the narthex, a deep masonry porch with a tall, arched
portal encompassing nearly the entire front can be seen.. The
western entrance into the narthex is encompassed by a
shallow and wide, arched niche. At the springing of the arch,
the encompassing niche gradually narrows, acting as an
outline of the arched niche above the door, occupied by the
icon of St Nicholas on the throne. The lower section of the
decorative painted frame of the fresco icon bears the
inscription in which the donor, Toma Nedeljkovi}, and the
year 1867 were mentioned.
The church got its wall paintings in 1867, as it was
witnessed by an inscription with the author’s signature:
Vasilije Krtsi}, a “painter (zugraph) from the Dibarska
county”. Petar Kosti} gives a more detailed information

Along with the 19th century iconostasis, numerous

The interior of the
church with the
iconostasis and mural
paintings after the fire
The church endured demolition owing to the fact
that during earlier sanation campaigns its structure had been
reinforced by armoured concrete and steel tie-rods.
The interior of the church was destroyed. The walls
and the iconostasis are covered with an extremely dark layer
of soot. Smashed furnishings are lying scattered on the floor.
In the central part of the church, and in the sanctuary, the
places where attempts to burn flammable furnishings were
made, can be seen. Due to lack of oxygen, the fire was soon
put out, having left the iconostasis unaffected except for the
lower part of the northern door, which had been vandalized.
After the inspection, and extensive consultations
with KFOR personnel in charge, the iconostasis was
dismantled and, together with the kissing icon of St
Nicholas, was immediately transferred to Velika Ho~a. The
iconostasis and the icon were stored in the chapel of St
Tryphon together with icons and other stuff brought from the
ruins of the other demolished churches in Metohija.
Oil mural paintings in the eastern part of the nave,
being covered with an extremely dark layer of soot, are
hardly discernible. They are to a great extent detached,
together with mortar, from the support. The damage in the
apex of the vault is also a result of detaching of the ground
from the support: a fragment of oil mural fell off together
with the mortar. It uncovered a piece of picked surface,
which indicates that an earlier layer of mural decoration may
be covered by present oil paintings. This hypothesis cannot
be confirmed at the moment because the walls are covered
with dark layer of soot.
The damages of the stone-slate roofing will result
in penetration of atmospheric humidity, which could damage
mural decoration of the upper zones.

DESCRIPTION
The church of St Nicholas, called Rajko’s after its
donor Rajko Kirizmi} was built in the first half of the 14th
century. In 1348, it was granted to the monastery of Holy
Archangels by emperor Du{an’s charter. Religious service
was performed in this original building till 1795, when it was
plundered and damaged in Skadar’s pasha Mahmud
Bushatlija’s raid on Prizren.
The church was covered with deposit during floods,
at the end of the 18th century.
The church was rebuilt on the same site in 1857.
Remodelling was so radical that we can speak of a new
church. The church got fresco decoration immediately after
it had been erected. An inscription on a stone tablet above
the western portal gives the information about the
restoration.
The design of the church is quite unusual. It has an
oblong barrel-vaulted structure, with an eastern apse, in its
centre. North and south walls of this inner church are
fenestrated with two wide windows having wooden rails at
the foot. The only solid walls in this structure were the
western wall and the one enclosing the sanctuary. Three
sides of this central structure were enclosed by a latter-date
ambulatory, in whose roof construction concrete beams were

western parts of the church were ruined, while the roof was
supported by timber posts. Only the northern wall was
preserved. The church is covered with triple-pitched roof.
The lead-plate roofing was removed.
Oil mural paintings of considerable dimensions can be seen
on the walls and in the vaults, as well as on the outer side of
the south wall, and by window-jambs. They were probably
painted by a workshop originating from Debar, active in
Prizren and its surroundings in the second half of the 19th
century.

Upon remains of an old church, probably built

century, a small, single-naved church with the entrance on
the west side and an eastern apse flanked by the niches of
prothesis and diaconicon was built at the end of the 19th
century. Place of worship has not, however, been deserted
during the decades preceding the restoration of the church.
There is evidence that fair celebrating the feast of St
Parakeve (October 27) was organized on the site of the old
church each year.

deterioration
CONDITION OF THE MONUMENT IN 2001
The church is situated in a small yard run into
weed. Protected by barbed-wire fence. Its interior has been
demolished, its furnishings scattered, while numerous icons
have been thrown on the ground and broken. All of them are
prints: some mounted on panel, some covered with glass and
framed. The walls are white-washed, while the vault is
covered with pale blue paint. There are no indications that
this layer of paint hides mural paintings. Traces of capillary
dampness can be seen all over the south wall, in the altar
apse and its south, as well as in the south-western corner.
There was no iconostasis in this church.
Recommended measures of technical protection:
Clearing of the churchyard, paving of the area
round the church, and making a drainage trenches. Regular
maintenance of the church and the churchyard.

apse was semicircular both inside and outside. The façades,
in accordance with the building style of king Milutin’s times,
had regular, decorative stone and brick bond, bound with
lime mortar; they were relieved by archivolts and pilasters.
In the period between the restoration works in the second
half of the 19th century and the conservation campaign of
the 1920’s, the facades of the church got mortar coating. The
removing of the mortar coat uncovered patterned brickwork
(slim bricks) in the archivolts above the apertures and in the
tympans of the walled in biforine windows.
The fragments of mural decoration, painted
between 1316 and 1320, were preserved in the sanctuary and

assessment of the preserved fragments, probably the only

affected the adhesion between fresco mortar and the wall,
which was exposed to intense vibrations. Further

kinds of weathering factors, is expected. Collapsed pieces of

fire. The access to the zone of the church, and the ruins, is
forbidden, because some unexploded mines may be left over.
A massive stone belfry can be seen to the northeast
of the church. The traces of demolition are visible at its
corners, but the belfry has not been pulled down. The
covering of its roof has been partly preserved. The
churchyard was divided into two sections: the entrance with
the residential quartets, and the area with the church and the
belfry. The remains of the fence dividing the two sections of
the churchyard have been preserved.
The earlier, northwestern part of the residential
quarters was mined. The latter-day single-story dormitory, of
which only the walls and the roof have remained, used to
stand in the southern part of the yard. The joinery has been
taken away.
Remains of the enclosing stone wall have collapsed

DESCRIPTION
The monastery’s Pomenik (a kind of register book)
has been kept since 1465, which proves that the monastery
of the Holy Trinity, uphill from Mu{uti{te, must have been
founded before this year. Records of the monastery’s
existence in subsequent centuries are scarce and indirect. It
has been recorded that the monastery was deserted in 1829,
and that it was granted to the monastery of St Marko
Kori{ki, and that in 1837 its restoration was sponsored by
Prizren artisans.
The church, rather small, was single-naved, with a
narthex in its western section and an eastern sanctuary. It
was barrel-vaulted, with double-pitched roof covered with
asbestos boards. Differences in masonry work indicate that
the western part, with the narthex and two entrances, was
subsequently added to a small church, which acted as a nave
in the new structure. The church had two arched entrances,
in the west and the south walls of the narthex, respectively.
Recessed jambs and archivolts of the doors, as well as
window frames, were made of stone. The church recently
underwent static sanation and restoration.
There are no data about the original frescoes.

DESCRIPTION
The Church of St George in Re~ane was built in the
second half of the 14th century, as the endowment of a noble
man, probably an unknown duke buried in the church in
1370. Its morphological and technical features clearly
indicate the epoch to which it belongs: it was constructed
upon atrophied Greek-cross scheme, and topped by
octagonal dome mounted on a reduced cubic base. The altar
apse is three-sided in the exterior. The church was built of
stone: dressed boulder in the lower zones, and ashlar in the
upper parts of the walls. The dome was built in alternation of
limestone and bricks. The use of terracotta elements – small
pots of peculiar shape, mostly discrete, was the most
conspicuous on the south façade, where the decorative
pattern was executed more elaborately. Good proportions of
the church stressed the solidity of its structure, despite
general verticality of the building.
The church used to house the original fresco
decoration, painted immediately after its construction had
been completed. The decoration of the dome and
pendentives was preserved in fragments. The scenes from
the Cycle of the Feasts, in the uppermost zone, were severely
damaged. The fresco of the Holy Virgin in the conch of the
apse, with Christ in a medallion on her breasts, flanked by
angels, was particularly interesting for the use of the rare
epithets “Most Holy” and “God’s angel” in the titles of the
Holy Virgin and the angels respectively.
The most interesting part of the destroyed fresco
ensemble was the cycle of frescoes depicting the scenes
from the life of the church’s patron – St George. The cycle
occupied the second zone of the western bay. Out of ten
compositions, only six were preserved on the northern and
southern walls. Its story, originating in Serbian medieval
literature, and its complexity, made this cycle an outstanding
and exquisitely important example of Serbian art at the end
of the 14th century. Iconographic features of the cycle of St
George and the compositions in the sanctuary indicate that
the frescoes were painted by a local painter, inspired with
powerful Serbian tradition of the time. Despite the fact that
in the time when the study by V.J. \uri} was published the
half of the original fresco ensemble was destroyed, fresco
decoration of this church was assessed as one of the most
extraordinary testimonials of intellectual and spiritual
climate in the Serbian church in the 14 th century, which
inevitably attracted the attention of top experts in Serbian
medieval art.
The artistic qualities of the monument, recognized
very early, necessitated the first conservation works as early
as 1926. Extensive protection and restoration works were
carried out between 1956 and 1960 . spomenika izvedeni su 1956-1960. godine.

DESKRIPCIJA
Crkva Svetog \or|a u Re~anima izgra|ena
je u drugoj polovini XIV veka, kao zadu`bina
nekog velmo`e, mo`da nepoznatog vojvode koji je u
woj sahrawen 1370. godine. O vremenu gra|ewa
crkve re~ito su govorile i stilske i tehni~ke
osobine gra|evine, sa osnovom sa`etog upisanog
krsta i osmostranim kubetom iznad "zakr-
`qalog" kubi~nog postoqa. Oltarska apsida je
spoqa bila trostrana. Crkva je zidana kamenom, u
dowem delu pritesanim oblucima, a u gorwem
pravilnim tesanikom. Kube je bilo izvedeno u
alternaciji kamena (sige) i opeke. Skromna
keramoplasti~na dekoracija izvedena uzi|ivawem
lon~i}a specijalnog oblika, ne{to je bila
bogatija i pravilnije izvedena na ju`noj fasadi.
Gra|evinu su odlikovale skladne proporcije, koje
su nagla{avale kompaktnost gra|evine koja
stremi u visinu.
U crkvi je bio sa~uvan `ivopis iz
vremena neposredno posle wene izgradwe.
Dekoracija kubeta i pandantifa bila je sa~uvana
samo u fragmentima, a Prazni~ni ciklus najvi{e
zone bio je veoma o{te}en. Posebnu vrednost
predstavqala je freska Bogorodice u kaloti
apside, sa Hristom u medaqonu na grudima i
an|elima sa strana, zbog retkog epiteta
"Presveta" uz wu i "angel gospodwi" uz an|ele.
Izuzetnu vrednost ovog uni{tenog
fresko-ansambla predstavqao je ciklus posve}en
patronu hrama - svetom \or|u, u drugoj zoni
zapadnog traveja crkve, od ~ijih je prvobitnih
deset kompozicija bilo sa~uvano {est na severnom
i ju`nom zidu. Ovaj ciklus je svojom literarnom
potkom, zasnovanom na srpskoj sredwovekovnoj
literaturi, i razvijeno{}u predstavqao unikatan
i izuzetno va`an primer u srpskom slikarstvu s
kraja XIV veka. Ikonografska re{ewa ciklusa o
svetom \or|u i u kompozicijama oltarskog
prostora ukazivala su na ruku lokalnog majstora,
vo|enog sna`nom tradicijom srpske sredine tog
vremena. Ovaj ansambl bio je, uprkos ~iwenici da
je u vreme studije V. J. \uri}a nedostajala
polovina prvobitne fresko-dekoracije, jedno od
izuzetnih svedo~anstava o intelektualnoj i
duhovnoj klimi u srpskoj crkvi u doba u kome je
nastala i time je nu`no privukla interesovawe
vrhunskih istra`iva~a srpske sredwovekovne

detonation shattered the wall support, great part of the fresco
decoration fell off.
A fragment hanging from the northern part of the
vault, closer to the sanctuary, shows that fresco mortar was

reinforced, most likely with bristle. Parts of frescos that are
still on the walls and the vault are to a great extent detached
from their support and are likely to fall off, especially if the
ruins remain exposed to the weathering factors. The paint
layer is covered with an extremely dark layer of soot, which
makes the identification of scenes impossible. The interior of
the church may have been set on fire before being mined.

zapadu i oltarskom apsidom na istoku.
Crkva je odmah po obnovi dobila fresko-
`ivopis koji je do ru{ewa 1999. bio u velikoj
meri sa~uvan. Ispod fresaka iz vremena obnove,
na pojedinim mestima je bio vidqiv prvobitni
sloj fresaka iz XIV-XV veka. U crkvi se ~uvalo
i nekoliko ikona iz XVII i XVIII veka.

STAWE SPOMENIKA 2001.
Crkva je minirana, ali nije sru{ena do
temeqa. Potpuno su sru{eni isto~ni i zapadni
zid, dok su ju`ni i severni, veoma o{te}eni,
ostali i na sebi nose poluobli~asti svod. Na
zidovima i svodu koji nisu potpuno sru{eni ostao
je jako o{te}en `ivopis. Zbog opasnosti da je
teren miniran nije se moglo pri}i ru{evini i
izvr{iti detaqniji pregled ostataka `ivopisa.
Detonacija je rastresla zidani nosa~ tako da je
veliki deo `ivopisa otpao.
Da je fresko-malter armiran, verovatno
~ekiwom, pokazuje fragment koji je ostao da visi
sa severnog dela svoda bli`e oltarskom prostoru.
Delovi `ivopisa koji su jo{ na zidovima i svodu
Ru{evine crkve sa
ostacima fresaka,
pogled sa istoka
u velikoj meri su odvojeni od svog nosa~a i preti
im opasnost da potpuno otpadnu, naro~ito ako
ru{evina ostane izlo`ena atmosferskim
uticajima. Bojeni sloj je prekriven izuzetno
tamnim slojem ~a|i, koji ga ~ini potpuno
ne~itqivim. Unutra{wost crkve je pre minirawa
verovatno bila paqena.

APPENDIX

DODATAK
KEY TO MONUMENT CODES

The codes of cultural property are introduced for the purpose of this publication. They
are used in order to make the classification and systematization of the material easier.
Letters (A-L) designate the municipalities. Letters were assigned to the municipalities in
accordance with the alphabetical order.

A Dečani G Peć
B Đakovica H Prizren
C Istok I Srbica
D Klina J Suva Reka
E Mališevo K Štrpce
F Orahovac L Uroševac

The other part of the code consisting of Roman numerals I and III or the letter E,
designates the category – legal status of a monument according to the Law on Cultural
Property of the Republic of Serbia.
/I – extraordinary importance
/III - protected
/E – recognized heritage (nominated and to be protected by the law).

The third part of the code consisting of numbers 0.01-0.87 or 00.01-00.40 gives the
elementary information about the condition of a monument: -0. meaning preserved; -
00. meaning damaged/destroyed. The other part of this code designates the number
under which a monument can be found within a group.

Example: Code Е/I-00.21 designates a destroyed monument of extraordinary

importance in the municipality of Mališevo – the Church of St Nicholas in Kijevo.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LEGEND ACCOMPANYING THE TABLES WITH

RECOMMENDED MEASURES OF URGENT PROTECTION (pp. 398-407)

Symbol ** appearing in the column Reconstruction designates that the reconstruction

was being carried out or was already completed in the time of inspection, in 2001-2002.
ЛЕГЕНДА ЗА ОЗНАКЕ СПОМЕНИКА

Шифре културних добара су интерног карактера и уведене су ради лакше

класификације и систематизације материјала. Словна ознака (А-L) означава
општину. Општине су добиле словне ознаке по абецедном реду:
A Дечани G Пећ
B Ђаковица H Призрен
C Исток I Србица
D Клина J Сува Река
E Малишево K Штрпце
