St. Clement the Lesser Church

This small historic church in central Ohrid is dedicated to the city's patron saint. Visitors go here to view 14th-century frescoes that remain on portions of the interior walls, providing an example of the region's religious art.

Getting There

The church is located within the central area of Ohrid. It is accessible on foot from the city center, typically taking only a few minutes to reach depending on your starting point.
