The Visoki Decani Monastery in Serbia is a prime example of iconography in monasteries in the Orthodox Church. Not only is the church filled with icons of exquisite beauty, it is filled with frescoes unparalleled in the orthodox world. Protected by Nato forces in the unstable Kosovo region, the church is a model for how churches and monasteries should be docorated: with icons and frescoes done in the traditional, expressive style of ancient iconography.
