St. Demetrious Church, Orthodox church in Jewish Quarter, Skopje, North Macedonia.

The church features three naves with an apse and dome, incorporating a bell tower and baptistery within its cathedral design complex.

Built upon foundations from the 16th century, the church earned cathedral status in the 18th century as the primary seat of Skopje Diocese.

The church displays mosaic art above its south entrance depicting Saint Demetrius, complemented by interior frescoes painted between 1968 and 1973.

Located at coordinates 41.9985, 21.4344, the church stands near the Old Stone Bridge and provides regular access for religious services.

Following the 1963 earthquake damage, artist Krste Koloski created new frescoes that maintain the church's religious artistic traditions.
