Church of the Presentation of the Theotokos

Located in the Varoš quarter of Prilep, this 15th-century Orthodox church is constructed from stone and brick. Visitors come here primarily come to see the medieval architecture and the remaining fresco of the Virgin and Child located in the apse.

Getting There

The church is situated in the old quarter, Varoš, which is a short distance from the Prilep city centre. It is accessible via a brief taxi ride or a walk of approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your starting point in the centre.
