Ohrid's Historic Treasures

Ohrid’s historical landscape spans over two millennia, featuring the only Hellenistic-type theatre in North Macedonia and the 10th-century Samuil’s Fortress. This collection highlights the city's evolution from the ancient Greek colony of Lychnidos to a major medieval religious center. Key sites include the archaeological complex of Plaoshnik, early Christian basilicas with preserved mosaics, and the fortified Upper Gate. These landmarks, set against the backdrop of one of Europe’s oldest lakes, reflect Ohrid's status as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
