Itinerary
Battle of Kosovo monument dedicated to the battle of 1389 between a Balkan Alliance force led by Serbian prince Lazar against an Ottoman army led by Sultan Murad I. The battle was fierce and both leaders of the armies were killed in battle.
Then continue further to visit the monument as well as the Tomb of Sultan Murad I.
We visit a superb Orthodox Church founded by the Serbian king Stefan Milutin in 1321, a triumph of Byzantine architecture and part of the Kosovo Medieval Monuments protected by UNESCO.
The ancient remains of Ulpiana, a roman town in the province of Dardania, home of the Illyrian tribe of Dardanoi, also known as Justiniana Secunda have been unearthed, testimony to Kosovo’s ancient past.
In Pristina we will walk through the capital exploring its main attractions including: the Mother Teresa Boulevard, the Monument of Scanderbeg (Albanian National Hero), the Clock Tower, Kosovo Government building and the “New Born” monument which is becoming the symbol of this new state. Of particular interest are the Ottoman period mosques of Pristina with probably the most beautiful, being the Fatih Mosque dating back to 1461 during the golden era of Sultan Mehmet II. Its huge ceiling domed cupola crowns a splendidly painted floral interior of Arabesque design. Nearby is Pristina's oldest building, the Çarshia Mosque completed in 1389. We end our tour with a visit to the National Museum.

About Pristina
Pristina is the capital of Kosovo, a young university city of Ottoman mosques, busy cafés and a pedestrian boulevard named for Mother Teresa.
Pristina lies on a plain among low hills in the middle of Kosovo, and its centre mixes Ottoman, Yugoslav-era and modern buildings. Mother Teresa Boulevard is a long pedestrian street of cafés and shops, running south from Skanderbeg Square. The Imperial Mosque, dating from the fifteenth century, and the Clock Tower are among the older landmarks, and the National Library is wrapped in a metal lattice beneath white domes.
