Full description
Visit North Macedonia’s most prestigious monastery, which is located deep in the forest. A medieval place where monks isolate themselves from the rest of the modern world, so they can devote their lives entirely to their faith. The monastery households one of the biggest and finest wood-carved iconostases in the world. According to legends this iconostasis is a source of many ancient secrets.
