Also known as the Empress's Town or Justiniana Prima, it was built by the Emperor Justinian, to imitate the big cities of the late antiquity. The power and splendor of Empress's Town were huge but short-lived, and its remains can now be seen near the town of Lebane.
If you head south from Leskovac to Vranje, and carry on to the far South of Serbia, on the left bank of the River Pčinja, you will see a monastic complex from the 11th century.

The original church was restored several times and over the centuries additional structures were added to complete the complex of the Monastery.
