It was the burial church for Emperor Dušan, and represented the culmination of the Serbian ecclesiastical archritectural style, that led to the birth of the Morava school style. The complex, which ranges over 6,500 m², includes two churches, the main one is dedicated to the Holy Archangels (where Dušan's tomb lied), and the second one is dedicated to St. Nicholas, both built in the Rascian architectural style, although, like the Visoki Dečani monastery, regarding time of the construction, and some architectural elements, it may belong to the Vardar architectural style.

During the last decade of the 20th century, work on the reconstruction was continued, and in 1998 it again became an active male monastery. After the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and retreat of the Yugoslav army forces, reconstructed objects were burned and looted in June 1999, by members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), after the Kosovo Force (KFOR) arrived.

a. | ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 98 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 14 later withdrew their recognition.

"Riedlmayer described how investigators reached their conclusions that damage was not caused by air strikes. In the case of the Museum of the Prizren League, Riedlmayer noted several facts inconsistent with damage from NATO aerial bombardment: (1) no nearby building was damaged; (2) a hit by an explosive device would have left nothing of the mud, brick, and wood construction; (4) the museum was a monument to the Albanian national movement; (3) eyewitnesses said that Serbian police destroyed the building with handheld incendiary devices; and (5) life-sized statues of the league’s founders, in back of the museum, were found in the river after the war. All of this supported the conclusion that Serbian forces on the ground had maliciously targeted the museum."
