Then walk to Plaoshnik, the place where we visit the newly built St Clement’s Monastery Church which is dedicated to St Clement (the patron of Ohrid) and St Pantelejmon, and which stands beside the original site of St Clement’s University, the first university of the Macedonian Slavs started in the 9th century AD. Inside the church you can also see the tomb with St Clement’s relics. Beside the church you can see the foundations of the 5th-century basilica with beautifully preserved mosaic floors and some swastikas also discovered on the floors. From here head towards the Church of St Jovan at Kaneo, which was built at the end of the 13th century, and is one of the most frequently visited churches in Ohrid because of its beautiful location on the cliffs directly above the lake.

About Tirana

Tirana, colorata capitale dell'Albania: edifici dipinti, monumenti ottomani e italiani, bunker della Guerra Fredda e caffè a ogni angolo.

Piazza Skanderbeg, una vasta piazza aperta, è il cuore della città, affiancata dalla moschea Et'hem Bey con i suoi delicati affreschi, dalla torre dell'Orologio e dal Museo Storico Nazionale con il suo gigantesco mosaico dell'era socialista. Nelle vicinanze, la Piramide di Tirana è un impressionante relitto di cemento dei decenni comunisti.

Top-ranked sights in Tirana: Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej), Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid), Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut).
