Marko's Monastery, Byzantine monastery in Markova Sušica, North Macedonia.
Built with bricks and stones, the monastery features a cross-shaped church with a central dome and a smaller western dome dedicated to Saint Demetrius.
King Vukašin Mrnjavčević initiated the construction of the monastery in 1346, and his son Prince Marko completed the religious complex during his reign.
The interior walls display medieval frescoes depicting religious figures, including the Holy Mother of God, Jesus Christ, Saint Nicholas, and twelve major feasts.
Located 18 kilometers from Skopje, visitors can reach the monastery by taking bus lines 80 or 80A, though service runs on limited schedules.
The monastery grounds maintain a functioning traditional oven specifically used for the production of rakija, a regional spirit.
