Detail InformationEdit

Our Lady of Ljeviš (Serbian: Богородица Љевишка, Bogorodica Ljeviška) is a 12th-century Serbian Orthodox Church in the town of Prizren, located in southern Kosovo[a]. It was converted to a mosque during the Ottoman Empire and then back into an Orthodox Church in the early 20th century.

HistoryEdit

The church was built in the 12th century by Stefan Nemanja on a previous 9th-century church which held the Bishopric mentioned in a charter of Byzantine emperor Basil II in 1018. The Church was guarded by KFOR after June 1999. However, it was burned down during the 2004 unrest in Kosovo by Albanian mobs. A group of experts sponsored by Serbia has visited the church on several occasions to assess the damage, but no concrete steps have been taken. The church is subject to constant looting (valuable lead has repeatedly been stolen from the roof).
In 1990 Serbia designate Our Lady of Ljeviš Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance, and on 13 July 2006 Our Lady of Ljeviš was placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as an extension of the Visoki Dečani site (named Medieval Monuments In Kosovo), which as a whole was placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
