Dečani
Serbian monastery in the autonomous region of Kosovo, on the Bistrica River. Dečani was founded in the first third of the 14th century. The Church of the Pantocrator (1327-35; architect, Vit of Kotor; five aisles, with three apses and a three-aisled western narthex) combines features of the Roman basilica and the Byzantine cross-domed church with cupolas. Built of rows of polished marble of two colors with decorative carving (around the windows, portals, and capitals), the church is distinguished by its graceful symmetry and its festive appearance. In the interior, it is decorated with frescoes (1335-50), including portraits of the kings of the Nemanja family; there is a decorated wooden sarcophagus containing the remains of the founder of the monastery, King Stefan III. In the vestry are Serbian jewelry masterpieces and illuminated manuscripts of the 14th to 17th century. REFERENCEMijović, P. Dečani. Belgrade, 1963.Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Then Prime Minister Hashim Thaci's motorcade came under a hail of stones and eggs late Wednesday as he left the western town of Decani after a rally organised by his Democratic Party of Kosovo (DPK). The US embassy in Pristina "notes with distress reports of violent incidents related to campaign activity" in the western town Decani, a statement said. Protestants also reported that Decani Municipality denied them permission to build a church facility on privately owned land they had purchased, citing negative reaction from local citizens, and that the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning upheld the decision. |
