Have you ever visited the world's metropolises, cities full of glitz and glamour? Have you said about any of them that it enchanted you so much that you could live in it? Yes, that's what I thought too until I saw the beautiful city of Dušan. Imperial Prizren is a city that will leave the most beautiful memory on everyone who stops by and will remind them to return to it every day. My experience of visiting Prizren is more than amazing. Where could I start, what should I talk about first. Whether it's about people, churches and monasteries, whether it's about the beauty of nature or about the spirit that the imperial city has carried for centuries, and with which it inspires all visitors. The description of such a city cannot fit into words, they are too narrow a context to explain its beauty. The experience that each individual takes with him after the visit cannot be put into words, it stops in the heart, and the heart is a boundless expanse in which there is room for the limitless. But Prizren selfishly collects all the love, so you have little left for other cities, especially those of the world. Prizren is here to remind you how beautiful Serbia is, how rich Kosovo is, how we must protect it because it contains the core, the essence of all of us. Passing through the narrow alleys of our wonderful Prizren, stepping on cobblestones and walking along Šadrvan, you will have the feeling that you are a princess or a prince who lived in the 14th century, that everything in front of you was made just for you, as if each individual is the one for whom this city exists, as if you are special and owes all its beauty to you.
„"Passing through the narrow alleys of our wonderful Prizren, stepping on the cobblestones and walking along Šadrvan, you will have the feeling that you are a princess or a prince who lived in the 14th century, that everything in front of you was made just for you, as if each individual is the one for whom this city exists, as if you are special and owes all its beauty to you. Chatty, boisterous Bistrica, which flows tirelessly and amazes many with its beauty, is as clean as a tear, and it lives up to the name it bears."“
The chatty, boisterous Bistrica, which flows tirelessly and amazes many with its beauty, is as clean as a tear, and justifies the name it bears. Not even Narcissus would have seen his image in her, and she would have overshadowed him with her beauty, which would have made him feel ashamed. Walking along the river, you will forget about all the problems, about everything that worries you, you will feel only a gentle peace, tranquility that will take over you more and more, and your thoughts will leave your head in the direction of the flowing river. And looking at it, you will remember the philosopher Heraclitus and his "panta rei", you will suddenly be inspired by new energy and joy in your heart will be the only thing you feel. And if we were to cross every bridge of this river and take the path of hills and elevations, we would reach the Prizren fortress from the height of which there is such a view that will remain in your mind forever as clear and picturesque as if you had captured it with a camera. That view from the fortress on the beautiful city and densely packed houses with narrow alleys will make you discover what love at first sight is. Prizren will slowly and quietly tie you more and more to itself with its beauty and the spirit it possesses, it will embrace you so that you will think of not leaving it. And if you leave, he will not give you peace until you return to him again. If we went down just a couple of alleys down from the fortress, we would come across a proud, yet contrite seminary before God. It is the place where so many students are educated to serve God and this wonderful city. Before coming to the imperial city, I thought that their sacrifice was great, and now I admire them and secretly envy them that they enjoy the beauty of nature and that city every day. In the center of the city, next to the fountain, there is a white horse with a carriage on which is a man who would be happy to take us on a tour of this beauty. A few steps away is our wealth, the one where I stopped first when I set foot on this ground, and that is the church of Saint George, which, together with the Virgin of Ljeviška, lights and illuminates the way for all who look in its direction with respect and love. Entering these temples of God, you can't help but think how did we deserve all this beauty and are we worthy to enjoy it. The Monastery of Saint Archangels, of which barely a foundation remains, still amazes as such, the presence of the Holy Spirit is felt. Even so desecrated, he still stands tall, beautiful and complete in our hearts, if we look with our inner vision. And the more you walk around the city, the less tired you will be, and the more energetic and full of energy that will lead you to conquer this city and peek into its every corner. What I didn't know, didn't even suspect, what you don't know, and what I won't write about, is the night spent in Prizren. The darkness that descends over the city, while all the lamps are in the embers of their flames, and you watch it all from the terrace on the glade on a warm summer night, will overwhelm you so much that you will wonder if you are physically present at all or if all your spirit is so filled that you no longer see with your physical eyes, you only feel. Is it a dream or is it real? Well, I'm not going to talk about the beauty of Prizren night, I want you to experience it, to come and see for yourself and feel what I do, because I have no words or words to describe such an experience. For the first time, I know why my late grandmother suffered until her death for Prizren and her village where she came from, where she was born and where she spent the most wonderful childhood. Now I also know what value Sredsko, her village Krajići, had for her. And I also know that I will return to Prizren, and then I will return again and again, and that it will be a place where we will be complete and peaceful. Kosovska Mitrovica
