Saint Nicetas, Banjane
Saint Nicetas, Banjane, Eastern Orthodox church in Gornjane, North Macedonia
The Saint Nicetas church features a central dome supported by four columns and combines stone layers with red brick in its construction pattern.
Built around 1300 by Serbian King Milutin on a previous church site, the building was later donated to the Chilandar Monastery on Mount Athos.
The interior walls display extensive frescoes painted by Michael and Eutichios around 1324, with inscriptions in Greek and Church Slavonic of Serbian origin.
The church stands 400 meters from Gornjane village and 17.5 kilometers north of Skopje, accessible through a 30-minute drive on Pat do Manastir road.
The monastery's apse wall exhibits detailed decorative elements, while the 19th-century dome frescoes were created by painter Dimitar Krstević.
