A local would say...

Three different civilisations left their monuments within walking distance of each other — Prizren refuses to choose sides.

Kosovo's most atmospheric old town, where an Ottoman bridge built in the 15th century has been superbly restored, and the 1561 Sinan Pasha Mosque stands as a central landmark under renovation. Nearby Gazi Mehmed Pasha Baths and the heavily guarded Orthodox Church of the Virgin of Leviša add historical layers to the riverside promenade. Prizren is where Albanian, Serbian and Ottoman history are compressed into a few compact streets.
