Novi Pazar, Medieval market town in southwestern Serbia.
The city occupies the Raška River valley, surrounded by mountains and contains numerous historical buildings from both Christian and Islamic architectural traditions.
The Ottoman general Isa-Beg Ishaković established Novi Pazar in 1461, building essential structures including mosques and public baths to develop the urban center.
The Church of Saint Peter, constructed in the 7th century, represents the earliest existing church in Serbia and displays traditional Slavic architectural elements.
Two educational institutions, the International University and State University of Novi Pazar, provide higher education opportunities for students in the Sandžak region.
The Sopoćani monastery, dating from 1260, contains Byzantine frescoes depicting Gospel scenes that received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1979.
