The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, the "King's Church" stands on the Kraljevica hill, in the village of Gornja Pakastica some 20 km away from Podujevo. The edifice, which dates from the 14th century, was King Milutin's endowment. The new church was built in 1925, on the older foundations.

The church was vandalized and desecrated while cemetery crosses and tombs were damaged after the arrival of the British KFOR troops.
