Psacha Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Psača, North Macedonia
The monastery features a church with elongated cross design and remaining dome, decorated with alternating layers of bricks and stone throughout its exterior walls.
Built around 1354 by Savastokrator Vlatko and Duke Paskač, the monastery includes frescoes depicting Emperor Uroš and King Vukašin completed between 1366 and 1371.
The fresco decorations present saints in detailed psychological portrayals, including scenes of St Nicholas and the Communion of the Apostles with Church Fathers.
The monastery sits 3 kilometers from the Kumanovo-Kriva Palanka Road, making it accessible for visitors exploring the northeastern region of North Macedonia.
An inscription above the entrance indicating the church dedication was destroyed during World War I Bulgarian occupation due to references to Serbian rulers.
