🎧  Listen to Introduction

The four buildings at the site reflect the pinnacle of Byzantine-Romanesque ecclesiastical culture, with a distinctive style of fresco painting that developed in the Balkans between the 13th and 17th centuries. The Monastery of Dečani was built in the mid-14th century for the Serbian King Stefan Dečani and also serves as his mausoleum. The Archbishop's Monastery of Pécs is a group of four domed churches that features a series of frescoes. The 13th-century frescoes in the Church of the Holy Apostles were painted in a distinctive monumental style. The early 14th-century frescoes in the Church of Our Lady of Livisa represent the emergence of the so-called Neo-Paleologo Renaissance style, which blends influences from Eastern Orthodox Byzantine and Western Romanesque traditions. This style played a decisive role in later Balkan art.
