Saint Sofia: A Testament to Orthodox Heritage

Saint Sofia, constructed in the 11th century, stands as one of the most significant Orthodox churches in Ohrid, North Macedonia. This monumental structure is a crucial piece of Orthodox history, reflecting centuries of religious art and architecture.

Founded by the Byzantine Emperor, it features impressive columns and intricate frescoes that have stood the test of time, particularly in the apse where colors remain vivid. The church's acoustics are remarkable, often hosting musical concerts, and its surrounding manicured garden offers a serene retreat amidst the bustling Old Town.
