TOURIST ATTRACTIONS TO VISIT IN PEJA
Kulla (Tower House)
Kulla of the Gockaj Family
Stoic and silent. You feel the weight of history. It wasn't just a home; it was a bunker. Represents "stone-hard" resilience.
Monastery, UNESCO
Patriarchate of Peć
A "Fortress of Peace." Heavily guarded but incredibly serene, flower-filled garden detached from the outside world.
Canyon
Rugova Gorge (Rugova Canyon)
Awestriking and primal. Vertical walls dominate the soundscape of the rushing Lumbardhi River.
Historic Mill
Mill of Haxhi Zeka
A cathedral of industry. The interior is a quiet, dusty cavern of wood and iron, smelling of history.
Mosque
Defterdar Mosque
Peaceful and timeless. City noise fades inside the walls. The old stones against green grass create a perfect "Old Peja" vignette.
