St. Nikita Monastery

A one day tour

Built in 1370 upon the foundations of an older church, as a will of the king Milutin. The painting in the church is a work of the famous Macedonian woodcarvers Mihailo and Eftihie. On the walls of this church they left a real gallery of frescos, on which the saints are shown in their real height, compositions which in a special realistic way show the "Christ Miracles", a lot of bible motives through the frescos "The Secret Dinner", "The Mourning of Christ", "Curing of the Young Woman", "Christ in the Samarjanka" and a lot of others.

The 14th Century Byzantine Church of St. Nikita, located near Skopje.
