Many sites within the territory of Kosovo, dating from prehistoric periods with an uninterrupted continuity of civilisation, have developed into cities and urban complexes. Among these cities is the monumental city of Novo Brdo. Today, as a historical-architectural and archaeological complex, it was once a well-known urban, commercial centre, and undoubtedly one of the most famous mining centres. Since ancient times, the Illyrians and Romans used Novoberd as a natural resource, giving importance to the production of metals in the region. The natural wealth contributed to this city, enabled it to become prosperous which paved the way to a strong economical hold within ancient and medieval Dardania. The architectural complexes also reflect the religious affiliation of the Novo Brdo population, as presented in the construction of many religious buildings; one of them being the „Cathedral“ which provides a vital role in the entire city of Novo Brdo. After the conquest of the city in 1455 by the Ottoman Empire, the cathedral was turned into a mosque, where the minaret of the mosque still exists to this day. For several years numerous heritage sites have been culturally appropriated and politicised by authority figures in Kosovo, particularly the appropriation of Christian objects found within the region. This is an old process implemented by political platforms aimed to displace the Albanian population from their ethnic lands, in turn falsifying the history and colonisation of Kosovo. Similarly in the past, the preservation and restoration of cultural monuments were decided unilaterally, allowing the bypassing of certain objects which do not belong to the Orthodox faith or Serbian history. For this reason, the study, consolidation, and restoration of heritage sites is a vital topic to be addressed in the future.
