Visoki Dečani Monastery

A Serbian Orthodox monastery built in the 14th century, with a church of pale marble and one of the largest and best-preserved collections of Byzantine frescoes in the Balkans, around 1,000 scenes. It's part of the 'Medieval Monuments in Kosovo' UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The monastery is guarded by KFOR peacekeepers; bring your passport to enter. Dress modestly. The Patriarchate of Peć is nearby. The Rugova Canyon near Peja is great for hiking and via ferrata.
