Zrze Monastery, Byzantine monastery near Zrze village, North Macedonia
The monastery complex encompasses the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, accommodations for visitors, and additional facilities situated on a mountainside location.
Monks inhabited stone chambers carved into the mountain cliffs during the 3rd and 4th centuries, establishing the foundation of this religious settlement.
The monastery walls contain fragments of 14th-century paintings that demonstrate the artistic techniques and religious symbolism of medieval Macedonian culture.
Located 25 kilometers northwest of Prilep, the monastery maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both religious pilgrims and architectural enthusiasts.
The 1421 icon of the Holy Virgin Pelagonitissa, created by Makarije Zograf, represents a final achievement in Byzantine iconography techniques.
