Ohrid - soul of Macedonia
<<
There
are no words to speak about beauty and opulence of Ohrid.
Spread by
the shores of the wonderful lake, at the foothills of the Natural Park
Galicica, Ohrid is a town where every step leads you to evidences of
rich Macedonian history. Inhabited even in very early times, the town
that once had 365 churches - one for each day in the year - preserved
a large number of them to this very day. Within them, they shelter an
immeasurable treasure of frescoes, icons, woodcarving and untouchable,
but clearly present vibrations of the essence of the Macedonian
people. Every summer, Ohrid is the home of the internationally
renowned Ohrid
Summer festival and of many other important cultural events.
You need

To dive into the Lake Ohrid, but also in the depths of the spirit
of the Macedonians that for centuries created culture and preserved
their identity besides all historic turbulences. About this speak the
many ateliers in town, as well as the love with which the Ohrid people
maintain their houses of monumental architecture.
Ohrid is
one of the cities that UNESCO has recognized as infinite treasure for
the humanity.
