Sredska, Prizren

Sredska (Albanian: Srecka, Serbian Cyrillic: Средска) is a village in the municipality of Prizren, Kosovo.

One-nave, semi-ovally domed temple, with the altar apse which is shallow and three-sided from outside and in the shape of niche in its interior, had been probably built several years before it was painted, i.e. in 1646/1647.

The well preserved paintings include the zones of standing figures, saints’ busts in medallions, compositions of the cycles of the Suffering and Great Holidays arranged in two separate columns and the standard decoration of the altar and dome areas.

In the second half of the 19th century, a square storeyed priprata and a light wooden belfry above it were built in front of the church.

This status of the church is ensured because of its simple architecture (one-nave foundation with the apse hardly rounded from outside, semi-oval vault and exterior dimensions of little over 5 m of length and 3 m of width) and the exceptionally high quality of its frescoes.
