The city also houses the 10th century church of St. Peter, referred to as Petrova crkva, which is sometimes claimed to be the oldest in Serbia [the foundation may predate the current building]. On a hilltop overlooking Novi Pazar is the 12th century monastery of ?urdjevi stupovi, long left in ruin, but recently restored and with a monastic community using it, with plate glass to keep out the weather and preserve the fine frescos.
The fine main mosque of the city, the Altun-Alem mosque, is the largest in this region of the Balkans and dates from 16th century. There are various other historic Ottoman buildings, such as the fine 17th century Amir-agin Han, a 15th century Hammam, and the 15th century Turkish fortress [all gone but the walls, the site of which is now a pleasant walled park in the city centre].
