Peć

Also known as Peja

Peć, known in Albanian as Peja, is a city in western Kosovo below the Rugova gorge. From 1346 it was the seat of the Serbian Patriarchate, whose monastery complex there is a World Heritage Site. The town later lay under Ottoman rule until 1912, when it passed to Montenegro.
