Nativity of the Theotokos Cave Church, Cave church and heritage site in Kališta, North Macedonia.
The Nativity of the Theotokos Cave Church sits within natural rock formations on the western edge of Lake Ohrid, four kilometers south of Struga.
The cave church dates from the 14th-15th century and later grew into a monastery complex with additional buildings and administrative structures.
The interior walls display frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries, representing the artistic traditions of Orthodox Christianity in the region.
The religious site remains active with nuns maintaining the monastery complex while welcoming visitors interested in religious and cultural exploration.
Located high in the rocks above the main church, this sacred space combines natural cave formations with architectural elements specific to Macedonian religious structures.
