St. Gorgi - Godivje

Vleguvanje vo Erusalim, detaljThis church, dedicated to St. George, is located about 30 km from Ohrid along the motorway Ohrid - Kicevo. It was built during the time of the Ottoman Turks in the Balkans. The exact date of its construction and fresco painting are not determined. However, the analyses suggest that it was in the second half of the XV century. The architecture of the church is quite similar to that of church Ss Constantine and Helen.

The painter of the frescoes exhibited inferior artistic skills, and yet the frescoes in general, both in terms of drawing manner and colours, are rather interesting.
