Marko's Monastery
Марков манастир
A monastery built in the 14th century during the reign of King Marko. Its church preserves extensive original frescoes, and the setting is tranquil.
The monastery lies in the village of Sušica, about 15 kilometres south of Skopje. Its church was built and painted between 1345 and 1366 by Serbian King Vukašin and his son, Prince Marko. The frescoes cover nearly all the interior walls and are well preserved, making them an important remnant of 14th-century Balkan religious art. Monks still live at the monastery, so visitors should dress modestly. It is best reached by car or taxi, and it can be visited on the same day as Matka Canyon.
