Church of the Holy Saviour

The Church of St. Savior is an Orthodox church with beautiful examples of carvings. It has survived to this day in its original form. In the courtyard of the temple is the grave of Gotse Delchev - Macedonian revolutionary of the twentieth century, and inside the church stands an engraved iconostasis, which is its main decoration.

It seems that the church is very small, but it is worth noting that most of the building was covered with earth. Since in the seventeenth century the city was dominated by a Muslim population, various measures were taken against the church that would make it unremarkable. The church was built in the XVII century on the site of the old church of the XVI century. Some of the frescoes were found during the excavation of the previous church.

Near the church originates the old market, which is also worth a visit and admire its historical sites.
