Sacred sitesHidden gem
Old Orthodox Church
A modest 16th-century church hidden behind walls, with one of the Balkans' finest icon collections.
About
Ottoman rules forbade churches taller than mosques, so the Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel is low and hidden in a walled courtyard. Inside: a carved iconostasis and a museum of icons, manuscripts and liturgical objects.
Local tip
Ask to see the small museum upstairs.
