Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

This Orthodox church (Црква Свети Никола/Crkva Sveti Nikola) is the largest in Kruševo. Founded in 1832, it dominates the bazaar district. Destroyed during the 1903 uprising and rebuilt in 1907, it houses a superb iconostasis attributed to Petar Filipovski (1780-1854). It is believed to be the last work of the great cabinetmaker, who was also responsible for the iconostases of the St. John-Bigorski monastery and the Church of St. Saviour in Skopje. Among the icons, the oldest dates back to 1884.
