This touring exhibition highlights four Serbian medieval monuments recognized by UNESCO for their outstanding universal value and their unique contribution to global cultural heritage. These monuments, which have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2006 and are considered at risk, include the Visoki Dečani Monastery, the Gračanica Monastery, the Patriarchate of Pec, and the Church of Our Lady of Levisa in Prizren.

Dating mainly to the 13th and 14th centuries, these sites are important examples of Byzantine-Romanian and Serbian medieval ecclesiastical architecture and art. The exhibition allows visitors to learn about their history and architecture, as well as view reproductions of Serbian monumental art. Its presentation in Lefkosia underscores the excellent bilateral and cultural relations between Cyprus and Serbia, promoting awareness of the shared responsibility to protect and preserve cultural heritage.
