There is also a well-known legend about the Cross Mosque, which tells that the Turks built a minaret on the foundations the christian church they destroyed, but unexplained forces kept demolishing that minaret until the Turks put a cross on top of it. After the liberation of the city from the Turks, all the mosques in the city were demolished, and on the foundations of the old, destroyed church, a new church dedicated to the saint–Venerable Martyr’s Paraskeva, was built. Today, this small and singlenave church is the smallest in Serbia.
