distance to property: 200m

Walking on the cobblestone-square you will reach the Old Plane tree (plant tree with a trunk 20 m wide). It's one of the most characteristic symbols of Ohrid. The tree is about 1000 years old and a witness of many events.

Ohridska Charshija (Ohrid's shoping district)

distance to property: 150m

According to the well - known 17th century Turkish travel - writer, Evliya Celebi, the Ohrid shopping and commercial quarter than occupied quite a large area of the lower town. Here were to be found all the essential craft workshops as well as shops Celebi lists 150 shops, three free lodging - houses and three caravanserais or hostelries. There were also seven coffee - houses where the educated people would gather. The inns were situated in the hilly part of the town where the Christian population dwelt. The majority of the dressed - stone shops in the business quarter were built in the course of the 19th century. Most of the shops which have survived were owned by Macedonian trades people as can the ascertained from the names on the upper parts of their facades. In additions to the trader's name, the year and sometimes even the month - when a particular shop was built has been recorded.

The church of St. John the Evangelist

distance to property: 1km

Built and decorated towards the end of the end of 13th century, the donor of the church and the painter of its frescoes are unknown. The church's architecture is of great relevance to a study of Ohrid's mediaeval monuments as it is a highly successful combination of Byzantine and Armenian elements. The church stands on one of the finest spots on the lake shore, on a high cliff over - looking the one - time fishing settlements of Kaneo in the old part of Ohrid.
An element of particular iconographic interest in the church is the group portrayal of St. Clement of Ohrid, Archbishop Constantine Kavassila of Ohrid and St. Erasmus of Lychnidos, the first Early Christian missionary in these parts, who was active in the 3rd century. The frescoes in the church of St John the Evangelist or Theologian, are the work of a group of painters who carried on the period of the Comneni. With its archaic traits and monastic character, this style of painting stood outside the new trends in mediaeval art which were to lead to the appearance of the Paleologue Renaissance, which first appeared in Ohrid in the paintings in the Church of St. Clement.

St. Naum's monastery f the holy Archangels

distance to property: 20km

The monastery of St. Naum is located on the southeast side of Lake Ohrid, in the immediate vicinity of the Macedonian-Albanian border. Its building is linked to the name of St. Naum, the closest associate of St. Clement of Ohrid.
Towards the end of his life St. Naum of Ohrid built the monastery St. Archangel where he was buried in 910. The church of Naum was similar to the monastery of
Clement, St. Pantheleimon, and was built in a trefoil shape.
According to the inscriptions in the church, the frescoes were painted in the period of the priest Stefan, in 1806. They were painted by the fresco artist Trpo, son of the Master Constantine from Korcha, Albania.
Particularly impressive are the scenes from the life and miracles of St. Naum of Ohrid. They were painted in the second zone of the chapel above Naum's tomb. The five painted scenes were passed from one generation to another, and are deemed to be the miracles of Naum.
It is known that St. Naum was capable to heal the mentally disturbed predominates. According to some sources, a "hospital" was operating within the monastery in 1662.
The iconostasis in the church was carved in 1711. The authors are unknown. They were influenced by the woodcarving traditions of Mount Athos and they created a genuine masterpiece.
Two Cyrillic and one glagolitic-cyrillic inscriptions dating from the period between the late X and XII centuries can be found on the pillars of the parvis. These inscriptions testify about the development of the oldest Slavic scripts, Glagolitic and Cyrillic, in the Ohrid region.

St. Clement's church of the holy mother of God Perivleptos

distance to property: 800m

In the old part of the town, near the Upper Gate, in 1295 the church of St. Bogorodica Perivlepta, known as St. Clement, was built. It is one of the oldest churches in Ohrid, and concurrently one of the most beautiful, above all for its frescoes.
When the Turks converted the church St. Clement into a mosque, his remains were first moved to the small church of St. Clement, and later on to the church St. Bogorodica Perivlepta, after which the people simply renamed the church into St. Clement.
It is known that within the church there was a large Archiepiscopate library that contained papyrus manuscripts from XI and XII century, and old musical notations of Byzantine church songs. Some of these precious objects are preserved to the present day.
The discovery of the frescoes in the church fundamentally changed the knowledge about art in the late XIII century and the beginning of XIV century, not only in Macedonia, but also in all Orthodox countries in Southeast Europe. They were actually the last phase of the Byzantine culture known as the Palaeologus Renaissance.

St. Pantheleimon - Plaosnik

distance to property: 850m

St. Clement's monastery "St. Pantheleimon" is located at Plaosnik southwards from the Samuel Fortress. This monastery is the oldest Slavic monument of culture. It had an extremely important role in the education of the Macedonians during the period of strong influence of the Byzantine Empire.
St. Clement of Ohrid, its patron and protector, arrived to Devol, Ohrid, and Glavenica persuaded by the Bulgarian Prince Boris.
The archaeological excavations revealed that for his needs St. Clement restored an older church and built onto it another church. There were a number of early Christian buildings on the site. That tells us that the ecclesiastical life was thriving even before the arrival of Clement to Ohrid.
The restored small church was not enough for the needs of St. Clement. Therefore he built a new, larger church in a shape of an uneven rectangle.
The tomb of St. Clement is located on the southern side of the church. The Archbishop of Ohrid, Theopilact in his extensive work "The Life of St. Clement" wrote that it was built by Clement himself. The tomb has been preserved. St. Clement, the miracle worker of Ohrid, was buried there in 916.
In XV century the Turks converted the church of St. Pantheleimon into a mosque. Later, the Turks allowed the ruined churches and monasteries to be restored.

It was here that the Ohrid School, a center of Slavonic literary and cultural activity, was situated.
Here, St. Clement of Ohrid, the first writer from among the Macedonian Slavs, wrote his literary composition including the “Words in Praise of St. Cyril”, a masterpiece of mediaeval Slavonic prose.

King Samoil Fortress

distance to property: 900m

Since the 5th century Ohrid is mentioned, by the Roman historians, as a well fortified city with numerous towers, which like the other Roman cities protected itself from the invasion of the wandering tribes. In the 497 it repulsed the siege of the Gothic king Theodore.

The Slavic tribes enter the city without much destruction, and in the 10th century, Ohrid as the Throne City of the Macedonian czar Samuil, had renovated many solid fortresses.
The present shape of the fortress is from the age of reign of czar Samuil, although there are some mentions in the history sources of certain ruination by Basil II and some later conquerors.

The final ruler of the fortress was Jeladin Bey /1800-1830/, who tore away from the Osmanic government and reigned the city as a sole feudal lord. He left traces on this fortress of the bloody forced labour.

The highest part of Ohrid, which 100 meters above the lake level is taken by the central part with walls 10-16 meters high and with defense towers.

Antique Theatre

distance to property: 800m

Only the lower section of the theatre is preserved, it is not known how many people it seated since the upper section is missing (the arches in the behind are just decorative it is not something they unearthed). Free entrance.

St.Sophia church

distance to property: 1km

Cathedral of Ohrid archbishops - 11th c. Fourth basilica built on this same spot (the oldest one being a roman basilica (courthouse)). Present church was built in 1035 by archbishop Lav, front facade with the towers and the open galleries was built in 1317 by archbishop Gregory. The side porch was added when the church was turned into a mosque by the Turks. Inside is the biggest composition of 11th century frescoes preserved in the world. The main altar has scenes from the old testament and an emotional procession of angels bowing to Virgin Mary. The side altars have a fresco of the 40 mortars (roman soldiers left to freeze because they didn't want to give up Christianity) which is very rarely depicted (in the left altar) and (in the right altar) portraits of Patriarchs from Constantinople, Jerusalem and Antioch, archbishops from Ohrid and Roman Popes (Ohrid archbishopcy always flirted with the catholics, so it would keep its important position with the Orthodox church). The small square in front of it was the main forum in ancient times.
