Samuel's Fortress, located in Ohrid, North Macedonia, is a magnificent historical wonder to explore and discover. Built by Philip II of Macedon in the 4th century BC, Tsar Samuel revived this fortress into the incredible structure it stands as today. Hiking along the fortress and its ruins, one can appreciate all the breathtaking views. You'll find fascinating limestone walls, massive tall towers, captivating recycled stones with ancient Greek inscriptions, and amazing views of the picturesque lake. Not only is it an enjoyable excursion, but it also provides a unique insight into the past. Explore and be amazed at Samuel's Fortress!
