North Macedonia's Essential Treasures

North Macedonia's heritage spans from the prehistoric pile-dwelling museum at the Bay of Bones to the 4th-millennium BC megalithic observatory of Kokino. The UNESCO-listed city of Ohrid serves as a focal point, featuring the 11th-century Church of St. Sophia, Samuil’s Fortress, and the iconic cliffside St. John Kaneo. Beyond the lakes, the landscape is dotted with significant Orthodox sites like the wood-carved iconostasis of Saint Jovan Bigorski and the volcanic stone pillars of Kuklica, reflecting a diverse geological and cultural history.
