FRESCOES
OF BOGORODICA LJEVISKA
(Lyevishka)
Bogorodica Ljeviska Cathedral is the main official diocesan church
of Prizren Orthodox Serb Bishops and is considered by Orthodox Serbs
as a pride of the royal city of Prizren. After the war in Kosovo 1998-1999
the Cathedral remains locked under the protection of German troops.
Kosovo Albanians have made many attepts to desecrate this holy place
and on one occasion it was only thanks to German troops that a total
destruction of this medieval cathedral by explosives was prevented.
With its sublime architecture and fresco art it remains a living witness
of the centuries old Serb Christian Orthodox presence in the city
of Prizren.
