The legend of the 365 churches
11 May 2024
Known for its many tourist attractions, Ohrid is a Macedonian gem. Being home to one of the oldest and deepest European lakes, it also has major historical significance. Fun fact: it is believed that Ohird has as many churches as the year has days. Some are in caves, so they can't be found easily. One of the churches is St. Sophia, an Orthodox Church from the 9th century- the oldest one in Europe.
 | Boban Ilijevski Ohrid was declared an endangered area by UNESCO, as, despite the monuments and the attractions, authorities don't care much about the city's infrastructure. |
Welcome to The European Correspondent
Europe lacks true European media: in Germany alone, there are more media devoted exclusively to football than news outlets specialising on Europe. The established players mainly focus on Brussels and European institutions. The European Correspondent aims to change that. We cover the whole of Europe and write for a community of citizens who want to look beyond their own national borders. Without European journalism, there is no European civil society.
