  The Hermitage and Monastery of Saint Peter Koriški (Serbian: Испосница и манастир Светог Петра Коришког, romanized: Isposnica i manastir Svetog Petra Koriškog; Albanian: Vetmia e Shën Petrit Korishës) is a ruin of the hermitage and monastery located in Koriša, Prizren municipality, Kosovo. The monastery and hermitage are on the same location.
  
  ## History
  
  The Monastery is an ancient cave dwelling that was abandoned in 1453 after the Turkish invasion. After the monastery was disbanded, the remains of St. Peter Koriški were moved to the monastery at Crna Reka in 1572.
  
  The hermitage was a declared cultural monument on 16 December 1950, and registered as a Protected Monument of Culture in 1990 under the protection of the Republic of Serbia.
  
  In February 2021, a group of four Kosovo Albanians was arrested by local police authorities for stealing archeological remains.
