Monastery of the patriarchate of Peć#

Edited by Marija Šegan and Danijela Pantelić

The Monastery Complex of Peć or Peja Peja, Serbia is located at the entrance to Rugova Canyon, in the municipality of Peć. It presents the seat and mausoleum of the Serbian archbishops and patriarchs. It is assumed that the first church of the monastery complex was built in the 13th century by the Archbishop Arsenije I (d. 1266). The church was dedicated to the Holy Apostles, and it was painted for the first time in 1260 (it was painted again in the 14th and in the 17th century). In the 14th century, on the north of the Church of the Holy Apostles, the Church of St. Demetrius was built by the Archbishop Nikodim (1321–1324), and on the south of the Church of the Holy Apostles, the Church of the Holy Virgin and the Church of St. Nicholas were built by the Archbishop Danilo II (1324–1337).
