The ebb and course of Islam and Orthodox Christianity has left Kosovo a legacy of diverse artistically lovely buildings, such as GraДЌanica Monastery nearby Prishtina, Decani Monastery wellnigh Peja, and the Sinan Pasha Mosque in Prizren. These all escaped the violence of 1999 and 2004. the countryside is visually attractive - wide-open plains in some places and rolling hills patchworked with fields in others. Rearing up behind Peja in the southwest are tall mountains, much snow-clad, and including Djeravica (2656m), the tallest mountain in pre-1999 Serbia. Further east, nearer Macedonia, the mountains provide the ski slopes of Brezovica. serb influence in the province has ended, and been replaced by an Albanian one. In Prishtina original monuments celebrate Albanian heroes while the displays in the museums of Prishtina and Prizren are exploring the province's Illyrian and Albanian past
