Zočište

Zočište (; ) is a village in the Gjakova Municipality in western Kosovo.

==History== Zočište is first mentioned in a chrysobull by the Serbian King Stefan Dečanski in 1327. In the same year, the Serbian Orthodox Zočište Monastery was constructed and Zočište was famed for being the site of a holy well that purportedly cured eye diseases. The significance of this well is evident in that the origin of the villages name Zočište, stems from the Serbian phrase za oči, meaning for eyes. Up until the 1990s, the village hosted a large number of Serbian and Albanian pilgrims with large scale festivities occurring yearly on July 14. The pilgrims came seeking blessings for eye diseases and psychiatric conditions.
