Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Samuel's Fortress was seen in the distance shortly after crossing the boarder from Albania, took this from the bus so it is not the greatest.
It is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Macedonia. With its massive walls and ramparts, it occupies the entire summit of the hill of Ohrid. The towers and high walls are three kilometers in length, stretching as far as the harbor. The Fortress, in addition to serving the function of defense against enemies, was also an inhabited area. Following archeological excavations done, it is definitely certified that several decades of centuries are being identified on the hill. During the reign of Samuel (976 - 1014), and of his successors up to 1018, Ohrid was the capital of the first Macedonian Medieval state. Both before and after Samuel’s time and of his successors the fortress was destroyed and rebuilt again. After the transformation of Samuel’s state into a political and ecclesiastical seat, Ohrid became a real medieval metropolis. |
