The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, commonly known as St Peter’s Church, is located on the northeastern outskirts of Novi Pazar. The exact period of construction is not known. Based on circumstantial historical data and the shape of the oldest part of the church, it can be dated to the late 9th or early 10th century. Shortly after its construction, the church became the seat of the Diocese of Raška. This temple occupies a special place in Serbian history, as it is related to key events in the life of Stefan Nemanja: his baptism, the council against the Bogomils and the transfer of power to his son Stefan the First-Crowned. Based on stylistic characteristics, the fragmentally preserved painting can be dated to the 10th, 12th and 13th centuries. In 1979, the monument was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Old Ras and Sopoćani monumental whole.
