Church of the Holy Annunciation of the Mother of God

The Church of the Holy Annunciation of the Mother of God was consecrated by Gerasim Dermias, Metropolitan of Pelagonia, in 1838. The church is of the basilica type with three naves without a dome. The colonnades of the narthex support the gallery on the second floor and end with a chapel on the periphery. The central nave is vaulted and the side aisles are tiled. In the courtyard of the church is the tomb of the Bulgarian revolutionary Pere Toshev (1865-1912).

Church of Saint-Cyril and Methodius

The church of Saint-Cyril and Methodius was built between 1926 and 1936, next to a former chapel, which dates back to 1884. In the basement of the temple are the graves of the soldiers who fell in the First World War. In 2006, the dome of the church, unfinished due to lack of funds, was finally completed.

Treskavets Monastery

The monastery of Treskavets was built from the 13th to the 14th. It was destroyed and rebuilt by the Serbian ruler Stefan Uroš II Milutin (1282-1321), and he is registered as "Ktetor" (founder) in the monastery. Partially abandoned in the 15th century, it has been restored several times since then. The monastery was seriously damaged by a fire in 2013.
