Plaoshnik - An archaeological site located just above Ohrid, Plaoshnik features a church built by St. Clement in 893 on the site of an early Christian basilica, dedicated to St. Panteleimon.

Saint Sophia - This cathedral, dedicated to Holy Wisdom, was constructed on the foundations of an early Christian basilica.
