Lazara, Albanian: Kisha e Shën Llazarit[2]) in Samodreža, six kilometers east of Vushtrri, Kosovo, is a Serbian Orthodox Church dedicated to the Beheading of St John the Baptist.

According to tradition (included in the Tronoša Chronicle), before the famous Battle of Kosovo (1389), the troops of Prince Lazar gathered and held a holy communion in the Samodreža Church.

In year of 1932, the church was rebuilt under the joint project of famous Serbian architects Petar Popović and Aleksandar Deroko.

It was made of white marble hewn stone with purified forms and clear lines, with almost complete absence of decorations.

[1] During the works on the renovation of the church, nearby were found skeletons which were presumed to belong to the victims of the Battle of Kosovo.
