This the Church Of Our Lady Of Ljeviska (or Ljeviš). It's a Serbian Orthodox Church built in the 12th Century. The Ottomans turned it into a mosque but it became a church again in the early 20th Century. The church was severaly damaged during the 2004 Kosovo unrest and has been guarded by KFOR since then. |

Those barbed wires all around the Church Of Our Lady Of Ljeviska are a very sad sight. The church is located on calm street, but peace gets disturbed when you get this kind of sight. I hope they'll manage to protect their cultural heritage and restore those monuments.   Bookmark Google  Bookmark on Delicious  Submit to Twitter |
