Twelfth Century Church of St. Panteleimon, Macedonia

The small Twelfth Century Byzantine Church of St. Panteleimon, patron saint of physicians, was constructed in 1164 (and rebuit, and destroyed, and rebuilt - unfortunately like most churches in Macedonia).

2. The Church's stucco decoration is depicted on the reverse of a Macedonian 50 Denar banknote.
