Cathedral of St. Clement of Ohrid
Соборен храм Св. Климент Охридски
The cathedral of the Macedonian Orthodox Church. Its modern domed silhouette contrasts sharply with walls covered in gold-ground icons. It is the largest church in Skopje.
The cathedral was completed in 1990 and named after St Clement of Ohrid, the 9th-century Slavic enlightener. It is the seat of the Macedonian Orthodox Church. The modern design consists of multiple layered semicircular domes. Inside, the walls are filled with newly painted icons on gold grounds, and large chandeliers hang from the ceiling. It is located west of the city centre near Ilinden Boulevard, about a 10-minute walk from Macedonia Square. Entry is free, but visitors should dress modestly.
