Hermitage of St. Peter Koriški, Medieval hermitage in Koriša, Kosovo.

The hermitage consists of a cave structure with remaining frescoes and stone columns situated on a narrow plateau near Prizren Municipality.

Built around 1200, the hermitage served as a residence for Saint Peter of Koriša until his death, later becoming a significant monastic center.

The site contains medieval frescoes from 1220 and 1350, displaying Serbian Orthodox religious art within its partially preserved cave walls.

Visitors should contact local authorities before planning their visit, as access to the archaeological site may require special arrangements.

The hermitage features a multi-story structure built between rocks, incorporating monks' cells and dining facilities despite spatial limitations.
