Overview

Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox church in Tetovo's old town. Built in the early 20th century, the structure features a cross-shaped layout and a rounded central dome. Visitors come to see its regional ecclesiastical architecture and examine the murals painted across the interior walls.

Getting There

The cathedral is located in the old quarter and can be reached on foot from central Tetovo in roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Taxis from the town centre take under 5 minutes.

Plan for 20 to 40 minutes, which allows enough time to view the exterior design and look at the interior murals.

Daylight hours provide the best illumination for the interior frescoes. The site rarely becomes heavily crowded, though Sunday mornings are active with local churchgoers. Spring and autumn provide the most comfortable walking weather.
