The Church of Saint Clement of Ohrid in Skopje is the cathedral of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, designed by Slavko Brezoski. Construction began in 1972, and it was consecrated on August 12, 1990, the 1150th anniversary of Saint Clement's birth. The infobox lists a Modernist style, while the text calls it a rotunda-type church.
The footprint measures 118 by 118 feet (36 by 36 m), and the text says the building is composed only of domes and arches. A freestanding belfry north of the main entrance is 148 feet (45 m) high. The article names no structural materials and gives no client.
Frescoes by Jovan Petrov and collaborators include seated Old Testament prophets, a departure from tradition, and a Christ fresco of 753 square feet (70 m²). A fountain in front is a gift from the Islamic religious community.
