Gracanica

Few towns in central Kosovo have a history as closely tied to the Serbian Orthodox Gračanica Monastery as Gračanica. Set on the Kosovo plain beside the Gračanka River, the town lies southeast of Pristina and is the administrative centre of the Municipality of Gračanica. King Stefan Milutin commissioned the monastery in the early 14th century; its five-domed church is known for Byzantine-influenced architecture and extensive medieval frescoes. The monastery forms part of the UNESCO-listed Medieval Monuments in Kosovo, reflecting its importance to the region’s Serbian Orthodox heritage. Open farmland surrounds the town on the broad central plain. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Gračanica and central Kosovo.
