Martina & GüntherKosovo - see you soon!

A fine example of a dervish monastery of the Sadi sect is the small Sheikh Emin Complex, named after a cadi who had the complex built between 1700 and 1730, renovated in . It includes a tekke, a türbe, prayer halls, residential buildings and a fountain.

The detailed Islamic sacred architecture with many wood-carved elements is remarkable. The unbelievable tranquillity that the complex radiates is very pleasant.

Admission is free, but a small donation is expected.

Diagonally opposite, a slender stone obelisk dominates the street intersection, commemorating the League of Prizren, founded in 1878.
