Cathedral of St. George

Serbian Orthodox cathedral in Prizren's old centre, rebuilt after wartime damage.

The Cathedral of St. George stands in Prizren's old centre as one of the city's main Serbian Orthodox landmarks. Its recent history is painful: the cathedral was heavily damaged during unrest in 2004 and later restored, so the building carries both religious and political weight.

For travelers, it is an important stop because Prizren's appeal lies in its layered communities as much as in its pretty riverfront. Visit respectfully, check current access, and see it alongside the mosques, bridges, and hillside fortress that make the city one of Kosovo's most textured places.
