Bogorodica Ljeviška (Serbian Cyrillic Богородица Љевишка, Albanian Kisha e Shën Premtës, or Xhamia e Xhumasë) is the Serbian Orthodox central church of Prizren and the cathedral of the Eparchy of Raszien-Prizren. Founded in the early 14th century by King Stefan Uroš II Milutin, it is the oldest five-domed church in Serbian art. During the Ottoman rule it was rededicated into a mosque. The badly damaged frescoes were discovered in the 1950s. Thanks to the quality of the execution by the Greek painters Michael Astrapes and Eustychios and the architectural importance of the cathedral, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Medieval Monuments in Kosovo since 2006. At the same time, the City Cathedral of Prizren was put on the Red List of World Heritage in Danger because of the unclear legal situation in Kosovo and the difficult security situation. Albanian extremists heavily damaged the church in 2004 during the pogroms in the Serbian province against the Serb residents and Serb cultural assets in Kosovo. Some of the frescoes were destroyed by heat and fire, the entire interior was demolished and parts of the construction were damaged by the fire.
