The old cellar church with its iconostasis is unique. The wood carvings are glued, screwed or similar.
A masterpiece of craftsmanship.

The church grounds are hidden behind a small gate. Behind it lies a very beautiful courtyard with pomegranate trees.

The Church of St. Spas, also known as the Church of the Ascension, was built at the end of the 17th century. It is located above the Turkish bath (Daut PaΕa Hamam) in the capital, Skopje. During the Ottoman Empire, it was stipulated that the church could not be higher than the mosque. Therefore, the interior of the church was excavated underground to increase the space.
