Ohrid's Byzantine Churches


Throughout the Middle Ages, Ohrid, in the Republic of Macedonia, was among the most important religious centers in the Balkans. There were reportedly 365 churches in the small city, one for every day of the year.

Most have since vanished, because they were destroyed or converted into mosques by the Ottoman Empire, but Ohrid still possesses more than its fair share of amazing churches.
