Treskavec Monastery, Byzantine monastery on Mount Zlatovrv, Prilep, North Macedonia
The stone monastery complex includes the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin, positioned at an elevation of 1280 meters above sea level.
The monastery foundations date back to the 12th century, with significant expansions and renovations by Serbian kings Stefan Milutin and Stefan Dušan in the 14th century.
The monastery walls contain extensive collections of frescoes from different periods, including the first known representation of the Heavenly Court in religious art.
Visitors need to undertake an eight-kilometer hike from Prilep to reach the monastery, which maintains regular opening hours for religious services and tourism.
Archaeological excavations revealed that before becoming a Christian site, the location housed a temple dedicated to Apollo and Artemis in ancient times.
