The latter, also known as Soborna Crkva, is the largest cathedral of the Macedonian Orthodox Church. The views of the city and river are lovely from the Skopje Castle in the Old Bazaar, particularly during the sunset.

Ohrid is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is considered a Macedonian treasure. The Church of Sveti Jovan Kaneo (St. John at Kaneo), Samuel Castle, Saint Naum Monastery, the Church of Saint Kaneo, the Church of Saint Sophia, and the Church of Saint Clement Ohridski are sites worth visiting; Clement, by the way, is the patron saint of the city. Ohrid\u2019s historic streets are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Visitors can enjoy views of the lake from one of the cafes along the shore or walk up the city\u2019s hills for magnificent sunset views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color
