At St.Sofia

At St.Sofia

[August, 2011] This is a 11th century church called St.Sofia in Ohrid, Macedonia.

It was built on the site of even older basilica and in the era of Ottoman Turkey, it was used as a mosque.

In 1912 it became a church again.

According to our guide, Misho, Italian people’s technology saved this church as it is when it was nearly falling down, without demolishing it.

In Ohrid, every summer, they have cultural festival.

Fortunately we could listen to a concert of violin and piano (brother and sister) duo here in this church.

The performance it self was good, but the atmosphere of the place was really really special.
