Church Of Our Lady Of Ljeviska - Prizren, Kosovo

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.
Barbed wires: A sad view of the Church Of Our Lady Of Ljeviska - Prizren, Kosovo

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.
