Ohrid’s fortress is one of the largest fortification objects in Macedonia. Through the history it has been destroyed many times, but also rebuilt and enlarged, so it bears traits from almost all the historical epochs. However, it is considered that the biggest part of the fortress is from the time of Czar Samuel, from 976 to 1014, when Ohrid was the capital of the first state of the Macedonian Slavs and therefore today it’s known as Samuel’s fortress.
