Radožda (Radozhda) – St. Michael


Holy Archangel Michael – Sveti Arxangel Mixail in Radožda (Радожда, Radozhda)

This cave church (pešterna crkva) dedicated to the warrior Archangel Michael is located on the western shore of Lake Ohrid above the village of Radožda (Radozhda), 10.8 kilometers (6.7 miles) south of Struga and a little over 2 kilometers (1.5 miles) from the border between Macedonia & Albania. Driving to Radožda from Štruga will take you through the village of Kališta where the impressive convent dedicated to Holy Mother of God – Sveta Bogorodica is located.

The frescoes in the cave are from the 13th & 14th centuries. The pictures in the gallery below are presented in the order they were taken.
