                   Monastery Church of Decani (Kosovo) - The majesty and serenity of the largest
                   of all Serbian medieval churches. It was built for King Stefan Uros III
                   between 1327 and 1335. Decani contains more than 1,000
                   compositions, with an estimated 10,000 painted figures. There are
                   more than 20 biblical cycles on the walls, from Genesis to the Last
                   Judgment. This is the largest surviving iconographic complex ever
                   created within the Byzantine sphere of influence.
