Ohrid, Ancient lake city in North Macedonia
The city extends along the northeastern shore of Lake Ohrid, with narrow stone streets leading up from the waterfront to the hilltop fortress.
The Fortress of Samuel, constructed during the First Bulgarian Empire in the 10th century, stands on the highest point of the city hills.
The Icon Gallery houses a collection of 30 religious artworks dating from the 11th to 19th centuries, representing Orthodox Christian traditions.
The pedestrian street connecting the waterfront to the City Fountain contains numerous restaurants, shops, and accommodations for visitors.
The Ancient Theatre, discovered in the 1980s, remains the sole Greek-style performance venue found in North Macedonia.
