Deçan

Tucked along the foothills of the Accursed Mountains in western Kosovo, Deçan is a town whose character is shaped by the Bistrica e Deçanit, a mountain river descending from the range. The town is best known for the 14th-century Visoki Dečani Monastery, a Serbian Orthodox foundation whose church preserves extensive medieval frescoes. The monastery forms part of UNESCO’s Medieval Monuments in Kosovo World Heritage property. Forested mountain country begins close to town, while Deçan also connects with the plains of western Kosovo and routes into Prokletije.
