60 Seconds on Site: Church of St. Sophia, Republic of North Macedonia
In October 2018, CyArk documented the 11th Century church of St. Sophia in the city of Ohrid in the Republic of North Macedonia. The church is famous for the incredible byzantine frescoes located within the interior.
The church of St. Sofia - Ohrid - Macedonia
The church of St. Sofia is one of the largest medieval churches on this territory. For a long time it was the cathedral church (Great Church) of the Ohrid Archiepiscopate whose ecclesiastical authority covered the territories up to the river Danube to the north, the Albanian coast to the west, and the Bay of Thessalonica to the east.
The church was probably used as a cathedral way back in the past, in the period of the Czar Samuel who, in the late X century, moved his throne from Prespa to Ohrid. The other assumption is that there used to be another church on the same site during the reign of the Macedonian Czar Samuel, and that later on this church was ruined for unknown reasons. The date of the construction of that church is uncertain because there are no inscriptions that help reveal it. It is also mentioned that today's church was either built or restored during the period of the Archbishop Leo who was on the throne of the Church in the period between 1035-1056. His esteemed ecclesiastical principal became a donor of the painting decorations in the church of St. Sofia.

Church of St. Clement of Ohrid, Skopje, Republic Of Macedonia
Катедрална црква Св. Софија, Охрид - Cathedral church Saint Sophia, Ohrid
Света Софија — катедрала во стариот дел на градот Охрид во југозападниот дел на Република Македонија. Посветена е на Христос како Божествена Премудрост т.е. Св. Софија. Оваа црква представува еден од најзначајните знаменитости во Македонија со нејзината средновековна архитектура и фрески.
Ова е една од најголемите средновековни цркви на овие простори. Во еден долг временски период таа била соборна црква на Охридската архиепископија, која својата црковна власт ја протегала на територијата на север од Дунав, до албанските брегови на запад и до Солунскиот Залив на исток.
Покрај нејзиното значење како знаменитост, внатрешноста на црквата и нејзиниот двор и колонада претставуваат важно место за одржување на културни збиднувања како концерти и драмски претстави.
The Church of St. Sophia (Macedonian: Црква Света Софија, Crkva Sveta Sofija) is located in the city of Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia. The church is one of the most important monuments of Macedonia, housing architecture and art from the Middle Ages.

It was built by the St. Clement in 863.
Lake Ohrid in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia
Lake Ohrid straddles the mountainous border between southwestern part of North Macedonia and eastern Albania. It is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, with a unique aquatic ecosystem of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species.
Lake Ohrid was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, and in 2010, NASA named one of Titan's lakes after it. In 2014, the Ohrid-Prespa Transboundary Reserve between Albania and North Macedonia was added to UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
The towns situated at the lakeside are Pogradec in Albania, along with Ohrid and Struga in North Macedonia. The lake is otherwise densely surrounded by settlements in the form of villages and resorts in both basin countries.
Lake Ohrid is the deepest lake of the Balkans, with a maximum depth of 288 m and a mean depth of 155 m. It covers an area of 358 km², containing an estimated 55.4 km³ of water. It is 30.4 km long by 14.8 km wide at its maximum extent with a shoreline length of 87.53 km, shared between North Macedonia and Albania. Of the total surface area, 248 square kilometres belongs to North Macedonia and 110 km2 belongs to Albania.
There are endless amounts of things to do here. Whether you’re interested in being active, cultural or lazy, you’ll find something to suit your mood.
We were at the lake in the wintertime, and there were still loads of things to do. If you come in the summer, you’ll never be bored.
Sveti Naum Monastery (St. Naum)
This Eastern Orthodox monastery was established in 905 by Saint Naum…who is also buried in the church! Entering into the complex you’ll pass under a stone archway, across a little river and past many peacocks.
The monastery itself is lovely, but once you reach the actual church, which has incredible views of the mountains and lake, you’ll be completely in awe.
Inside are stone columns, well-preserved frescos on the walls and ceiling and of course, Saint Naum! The story goes that if you kneel in front of the cushion, and press your ear to it, you’ll be able to hear Saint Naum’s heart beating…
This was our favourite site during our time at Lake Ohrid, do not miss it. You’ll find this monastery 30 kilometers south of the city of Ohrid, and you can get here by car, taxi, or by boat.
Sveti Jovan Monastery (St. John Monastery)
Another picture-perfect monastery, but this time it’s Macedonian Orthodox. You’ll find this church clinging to a cliff above Kaneo Beach just outside of Ohrid city. The views of the lake from here are outstanding, and if you want to find a peaceful place to just hangout and relax, this is it.
The walk here is great as well. You can wander through the old town, and along the lakeshore, before arriving at the church. To complete the circle, head up the hill along a path into the forest. You’ll eventually arrive at the fort.
Samuel’s Fortress
This was the capital of the first Bulgarian empire, when Tsar Samuel ruled in the 10th century. Today this is a popular spot for tourists. The fortress is well intact and the views from here are sublime.
Church of St. Sophia
This church is one of the most important monuments in all of Macedonia. It’s been home to a number of faiths since 850 – Christian, Bulgarian Orthodox, and Muslim. Inside you’ll find architecture, art and frescos from the Middle Ages.
Ancient Theatre
This theatre was constructed in 200 BC, and is from the Hellenistic period (between the death of Alexander the Great and the start of the Roman Empire). Only the lower section of the theatre exists, but it’s still very impressive. Actually, during the Roman times, this theatre was used for Gladiator fighting!
Check out the Traditional Homes
Ohrid’s architecture is unique. The lanes are narrow and very tight, with houses actually built hanging over the roads. The houses are all painted white to help with the intense heat of the sun, and there aren’t many open areas or yards due to lack of space, and to help avoid the strong winds from the lake.
A few noteworthy homes to check out are Robevci & Uranija houses, and the homes along Car Samoil and Ilindenska streets.
Swimming, Snorkelling and Diving
If you visit Lake Ohrid during the summer you’ll be able to fully enjoy all of the water activities. Even though Lake Ohrid can be visited year-round, all of the water activities can only be done in the summer.
Hiking and Walking
There are a few trails around the old town of Lake Ohrid, but for a more exciting adventure, why not walk around the entire lake?!
If you don’t have about a week to spend hiking and camping along the shoreline, you can make your way to the village of Elshani on the east coast. This is a great starting point for numerous trails around the area. You can also hike to the villages of Konjsko or Pestani from here.

The most beautiful lake town in the south of Europe? ???????? Travel/Tour of Ohrid, North Macedonia
Ohrid, North Macedonia: I decided to have a day trip from Skopje to go see a famous lake town in the south of Europe called Ohrid. I didn't know what to expect, but then I found that it is full of things to do and see: the church of St. Sophia and many others, Samuel's Fortress and so on. Plus, the beautiful old town of Ohrid has a really warm feeling and an amazing panoramic view over the lake. Really, the first impressions of North Macedonia are that it is incredibly beautiful and that it's a hidden gem in Europe!
During this solo travel to Norh Macedonia, from Skopje to Ohrid, I was amazed by this country and I'm sure that one day I'll be back!

Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid region (UNESCO/NHK)
Situated on the shores of Lake Ohrid, the town of Ohrid is one of the oldest human settlements in Europe. Built mainly between the 7th and 19th centuries, it has the oldest Slav monastery (St Pantelejmon) and more than 800 Byzantine-style icons dating from the 11th to the end of the 14th century. After those of the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow, this is considered to be the most important collection of icons in the world.

Ohrid (Macedonia) Travel - St. John Church
Take a tour of St. John Church of Macedonia in Ohrid, Macedonia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
An ancient Macedonian Orthodox sanctuary sits on Kaneo Beach overlooking Lake Ohrid.
St. John Church of Macedonia, named after the Gospel of John, is an incredible example of Byzantine and Armenian architecture in Ohrid, Macedonia.
This holy site sits on a rectangular base and presents itself in cruciform shape, with an octagonal dome, and three-sided apse.
The precise origins of the church are unknown, but estimates conclude that it was constructed before the foundation of the Ottoman Empire.
Ornate frescoes were found in the main dome during restoration work conducted in 1964.
Though the church ceased to be an active place of worship after the Turks invaded the Balkans, it is now a pilgrimage site.
