The Saint Panteleimon monastery is situated on Plaošnik, an archaeological site and holy place in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia. It is attributed to Clement of Ohrid, a disciple of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius at the request of Boris I of Bulgaria in the 9th century. Apart from the monastery's many reconstructions during the Ottoman empire, it has recently undergone extensive reconstruction and excavation. Reconstruction finished by August 10, 2002 and most of Saint Clement's relics were returned to the church.
