Ferizaj
Ferizaj has served as a railway town in Kosovo since the late 19th century. Founded around the rail connection between Pristina and Skopje, it developed into the commercial and administrative centre of southeastern Kosovo. The city stands on the broad Ferizaj plain, with the Nerodime River running through its urban area and the Šar Mountains to the west. Its central pedestrian space and adjoining streets concentrate shops, cafés and everyday public life. A mosque and the Serbian Orthodox Church of St Uroš stand close to one another near the centre, a notable expression of the communities that have shaped the town. Ferizaj also lies on the main road and rail corridor leading south toward North Macedonia.

Kosovo has served as a crossroads between Central Europe and the eastern Mediterranean since Roman times. This compact Balkan country is shaped by contrasts: the Šar Mountains line its southern border, while the White Drin runs through western valleys and the Rugova Canyon lies near Peja. Pristina, the capital, combines rapid postwar growth with landmarks including the National Library and the Newborn monument, unveiled after Kosovo declared independence in 2008. In Prizren, mosques, churches and Ottoman-era houses trace successive Byzantine, Ottoman and modern Balkan influences. The 14th-century Visoki Dečani Monastery near Peja ranks among the region’s major medieval monuments.
