What to expect
Saint Climent of Ohrid
We will start our tour at the Ohrid Central Square that has the name of the Ohrid patron St. Clement.
The portraits of the six Roman popes are painted inside the church, which reflects the relations between the Eastern and the Western church before the schism in 1054. The bare-foot Christ as well as the cycle of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, are some of the rarities that make the gallery of St. Sophia a unique gallery of paintings. Its magnificent architecture is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Byzantine architecture in general.
