The most beautiful religious buildings Kievo

Perched 970 m above sea level, this Orthodox monastery (Кичевски Манастир/Kičevski Manastir) was founded in 1316 and rebuilt in the ^19th century. The monastic buildings form an enclosure around the main church dedicated to the "Pure Virgin" (Bogorodica Prečista). It features remarkable frescoes (1865) by the great Mijak painter Dičo Zograf and a beautiful wooden iconostasis (1864). The complex also houses the small Church of St. Nicholas and an area reserved for Muslims, who once came in large numbers because of miraculous cures attributed to the place.
