Description
The Church of the Virgin Hodegetria is situated in the city of Peć. It was built around 1330, South to the Church of the Holy Apostles (as a counterpart to the Church of St. Demetrius) by Archbishop Danilo II.
It is a developed cross-in-square edifice with octagonal dome. Gothic bifora on its Eastern side was probably added later and matches the same one on its Southern side. In North-Western part of the Church is a sarcophagus of Archbishop Danilo II.
The Church was fresco painted around 1337 (by the time Archbishop Danilo II died) and finished during Archbishop Joanikije.
