Archaeological excavations of the Polyconchal Basilica at Plaoshnik and Church of St. Clement and St. Panteleimon, Ohrid, Macedonia.

The church was built by St. Clement in 893 on the foundations of an early Christian basilica, and it was dedicated to St. Panteleimon. This was the place of the Ohrid Literary School, a center of Slavonic literary and cultural activity. St. Clement was buried in this monastery, in the tomb that he built himself.

It is the oldest Slav monastery. That is one of the reasons that Ohrid was inscribed in 1979 on the Unesco word heritage list.
