Hi Alptekin
Nice view of the building, and a great capture of the detailed textures of the old stone walls. The colors stand out really well against that great bright sky. I would imagine the light was very difficult to balance on this, but you did really nicely.
Best wishes
Noel

Hello Alpetekin

Predivna Vizantijska arhitektura.
Lepa fotografija samo su podaci netačni jer ovo nije džamija već srpska pravoslavna crkva u Prizrenu.
Crkva Bogorodica Ljeviška je zadužbina srpskog kralja Milutina i pripada raško-prizrenskoj eparhiji. Sagrađena je 1306-1307. godine na ostacima ranohrišćanskog hrama iz 11. veka i nalazi se u centru Prizrena, nekadašnje srpske prestonice.
Najstarije tri freske u crkvi potiču iz 13. veka, dok je većina iz 14. među kojima su i portreti mnogih Nemanjića. Tokom Osmanske vladavine crkva je pretvorena u džamiju a freske su obijene, prekrečene i polivene malterom. Početkom 20. veka ponovo je postala crkva, a nakon Drugog svetskog rata izvršena je restauracija fresaka, da bi crkva ponovo bila oštećena u pogromu od 17. marta 2004. godine.

Wonderful Byzantine architecture.
Beautiful pictures, only the data is incorrect because this is not a mosque but Serbian Orthodox Church in Prizren.
Church of Our Lady was endowed by Serbian King Milutin and belongs to the Diocese of Raska and Prizren. It was built in 1306-1307. on the remains of an early Christian church from the 11th century and is located in the center of Prizren, the former Serbian capital.
Oldest three frescoes in the church date from the 13th century, while most of the 14th among which are the portraits of many of Nemanjić. During the Ottoman rule of the church was converted into a mosque and the frescoes were burglarized, and sprinkled with whitewashed plaster. In the early 20th century it became a church again, and after World War II, restoration of the frescoes, that the church was again damaged in the pogrom of March 17, 2004.

Kind regards
Saša
