The monastery was constructed by Serbian king Stefan Urosh buried in the chapel and completed by his son Stefan Dushan in 1335. The catholicon has striking similarities to a roman catholic church made by its Franciscan monk architect, Fra Vita, from the Montenegrin town of Kotor heavily influenced by Venice architectural style.

Proceed to visit another very important religious complex, the Patriarchate of Peja constructed in the XIII century. It is composed of three small churches with beautiful frescoes. For its architectural and cultural values it represents, is part of the UNESCO protected Medieval Monuments of Kosovo. After visiting the complex we continue on to Vushtrri to visit the old castle in the middle of town and the old Stone Bridge. Kosovo has been for centuries a land of contrasts something which has been reflected in a troubled history ancient and recent. A testimony to this is the monumental complex of the Jashari family, at Prekaz, in honour of this family which in the recent 1999 conflict resisted till self-sacrifice of all members to give ethnic Albanian’s, a majority population in Kosovo the chance of self-determination.

Further north in Mitrovica we visit the fittingly named “Bridge of division” which separates the Albanian population from the Serbian one, a testimony to the still fragile peace. Continue to the capital Pristina, where just before arriving we visit the symbolic grave of Sultan Murad I, and the monument of Battle of Kosovo dedicated to the glorified battle of 1389 between a Balkan Alliance force led by Serbian prince Lazar against an Ottoman army led by Sultan Murad I.

At Gracanica we visit the superb 14th century Orthodox Church founded by the Serbian king Stefan Milutin in 1321, a triumph of Byzantine architecture and part of the Kosovo Medieval Monuments protected by UNESCO. Close by lay the remains of ancient Ulpiana the capital of the roman province of Dardania, a place earlier settled by the Illyrian tribe of Dardanoi where it took its name from. It flourished under roman rule and after being destroyed by an earthquake it was built under the cure of Emperor Justinian and started to be known as Justiniana Secunda.

Continue on toward Novoberda to visit its panoramically standing medieval castle which protected the mines of gold, silver and other metals found close by. Letnica is a village formally home to a Croatian minority in Kosovo, famous for its white washed church and a 400 years old blackened wood statue of the Virgin Mary, carved in the style of Michelangelo, known as “Black Madonna”. It is said to be one of very few Black Madonna’s found around the world. It is also the place that perhaps convinced Mother Theresa to become a missionary, on a pilgrimage to the Letnica church during the festival of the

“Black Madonna” back in 1928. After the visits return to Pristina with a stop at the Gadima cave which is 1200 meter long, also known as the Marble cave due its marble like colors full of crystallized stalagmites. Visit of the cave and return to Pristina.

This monastery was constructed by Serbian king Stefan Urosh buried in the chapel and his son Stefan Dushan. Interesting is the fact that the catholicon has striking similarities to a roman catholic church which is explained by the fact that its architect was a Franciscan monk from the Montenegrin town of Kotor, with obvious influences from Venice and Ragusa.  Afterwards drive to Gjakova which has a Grand Bazaar thought to be the oldest in Kosovo also known asCarshi, full of old houses & shops, a Turkish Bathhouse or Hamam and the 16th century Hadum Aga Mosque which we will visit.
