About St. Andrew

Saint Andrew's Monastery is located in the Municipality of Saraj, in the western part of Mount Vodno, North Macedonia. Situated next to the Treska River, it is found before the dam that created Lake Matka, approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Skopje. The monastery was founded in 1389 by Andrijaš, one of the two sons of King Vukašin. Nestled among steep and high cliffs, it is one of the few monasteries where most of the inscriptions from the time of its construction and painting have been preserved. It is dedicated to the Apostle Andrew.
