Social:Hermitage of St. Peter of Koriša
Hermitage and Monastery of Saint Peter Koriški (Serbian: Испосница и манастир Светог Петра Коришког, Isposnica i manastir Svetog Petra Koriškog, Albanian: Vetmia e Shën Petritit) is a ruin of the hermitage and monastery located in Koriša, Prizren municipality, Kosovo[a]. The monastery and hermitage are on the same location.
History
The Monastery is an ancient cave dwelling that was abandoned in 1453 after the Turkish invasion.[1] After monastery was disbanded, the remains of St. Peter Koriški were moved to the monastery at Crna Reka in 1572.
The hermitage was a declared cultural monument on 16 December 1950,[2] and registered as a Protected Monument of Culture in 1990 under the protection of the Republic of Serbia.[3]

Notes and references
Notes:
| a. | ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 98 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 14 later withdrew their recognition. |
