Sveti Dimitrija Church

Skopje


Located just over the Stone Bridge heading into Čaršija, Sveti Dimitrija is a three-aisled church from the 19th century inside a small courtyard. There was an apparent spectacle here in April 2012, just before Easter, when churchgoers reported that the gold leaf in the abundant wall frescoes seemed to glow in bright tones.
