| Peć, Church of St. Demetrius (Patriarchate of Peć) | Place | The Church of St. Demetrius is situated in the city of Peć. It was built by Archbishop Nikodim, probably between 1320 and 1324, as is written in the Peć Chronicle. It is a reduced cruciform edifice with a spacious dome and altar. Western bay is lower and dimmer than the rest of the Church (serving as a resting place of two Patriarchs - Jefrem and possibly Sava IV). It has a cross (groin) vault, which was, as some scholars believe, built later. In 1614 some parts of the building (namely its Northern wall) have been reconstructed. On the altar screen some sculpture can be seen. The Church was fresco painted in the middle of the 14th century, and renovated in the 17th century. The name of one painter (out of two who painted this Church) has remained inscribed in the apse in Greek lettering. |
