Church of Sveti Dimitrij

North Macedonia


This Orthodox church (1830) has some rich frescoes, ornate lamps and a huge iconostasis. Sometimes weddings are held here and it's worth checking if there's one on before paying the entrance fee, as you won't be able to walk around inside the church if a ceremony is happening.
