Saint Mark Koriški Monastery
Saint Mark Koriški Monastery was a Serbian Orthodox monastery, built around 1300, located in Koriša, Prizren, Kosovo[a]. Entire complex was declared Protected Monuments of Culture in 1959, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia[1]It was completely destroyed after the end of the Kosovo war in 1999.[1]
History
The monastery of St. Mark of Koriša used to stand on a rocky outpost above the Koriša river near the village of Koriša. The church was built in 1467 and it was single-nave. It was built on a rectangular foundation and until its destruction, it preserved a fragment of the original, ancient fresco. On the western side, above the rock, a belfry with two bells was added in 1861 as a foundation of Sima Andrejević Igumanov. In April 1941, Albanians of Kabaš forcibly tore out the bells and repeatedly desecrated and vandalized the founder's grave. After that, monastery was almost abandoned up until 1995, when monastery life restarted. In 1999, after arrival of KFOR on Kosovo, entire monastery was completely destroyed in a powerful blast in June 1999.[2] The monastery had a valuable library.[3] Hermitage of St. Peter Koriški is near this Monastery.
