Book Description
This book explores the historical, cultural, and architectural significance of one of Macedonia’s most important Byzantine monuments. The author situates the church within Ohrid’s geographic and urban evolution, from antiquity through medieval Slavic, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods. It analyzes Saint Sophia’s construction phases, stylistic features, frescoes, and transformations. Comparative insights into Balkan urban development highlight the church’s role as both a religious and cultural hub. Ultimately, the study underscores Saint Sophia as a symbol of Ohrid’s layered heritage and identity.
