This ethereal 14th century church is richly decorated with frescoes, and was built on the site of a much older shrine. Serbian King Milutin refurbished it in 1313, and its haunting, otherworldly frescoes were painted from 1317-18 by Mihajlo and Eftihie, two of the greatest painters in the Byzantine Balkans. The Church of St. George serves as a vital link to Macedonia’s Byzantine past.
