St. Demetrius Church, Orthodox church in Bitola, North Macedonia.
Saint Demetrius Church features a carved wooden iconostasis adorned with religious artwork and includes elevated galleries on its second floor level.
The church was constructed in 1830 following special permission from Turkish authorities, replacing a previous chapel from 1726 that had burned down.
The interior displays religious artworks from 1842 created by Mihail Aganost and Nikolai Mihailov, representing traditional Macedonian Orthodox craftsmanship.
The building serves as the main religious center in Bitola for Orthodox ceremonies, including weddings, christenings, and major Christian holiday celebrations.
The structure was deliberately built lower than surrounding mosques and partially underground, constructed within four months using local Christian donations.
