Church of St. Michael, Štip

Church of St Michael (Macedonian Cyrillic: Свети Архангел Михаил), also called Fitija (Фитија) is the most valuable medieval monument of Štip, North Macedonia.

Its endower was protosebastos Hrelja, a nobleman of Serbian kingdom that ruled Štip since 1282.

In 1334 Hrelja, with consent of king Stefan Dušan, donated the church to Chilandar, the Serbian monastery in Holy Mount Athos.

The outer decoration shows all the signs of fine Byzantine architecture with facades in layers of bricks and stone.

Until recently it had an old iconostasis with icons by Georgi Zoografski but in 2000 it got a new, marble one, painted by Pero of Skopje.
