Top 6 Churches & Cathedrals in Skopje, Skopje Region
After belonging to many empires over time (including Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and most recently Yugoslavian), Macedonia gained its independence in 1991, and Skopje, with about half a million people, is its largest city and capital. Despite its age, the city looks quite modern, owing to a massive 1963 earthquake that destroyed 75% of its buildings. Skopje has long been shared by Christians and Muslims, who still come together at the fascinating Old Bazaar, one of the Balkans' largest markets.

This is a small church in the centre of skopje at the back of the old bazaar. For a small fee you can see inside where there is very impressive hand-carved iconography which is about 8 x 3 metres and was done by only 3 craftsmen. The whole visit takes less than half an hour. Locals are quite rightly very proud of this church.
3. Church of the Ascension of Jesus

Admission is cheap and a short tour of the church is included. It was very impressive, particularly the carvings. We also enjoyed the tour a lot. Our guide was both informative and funny. Very glad we stopped in.
