Church of St. Sophia

In September 2018, CyArk documented St. Sophia Church on the shores of Lake Ohrid in the Republic of North Macedonia. Several months prior, CyArk was contacted by an architect from the city of Ohrid who requested assistance documenting some of the monuments in the historic old town, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. CyArk began discussions with the Ministry of Culture and decided to complete work on St. Sophia Church in advance of an upcoming conservation program. CyArk documented the exterior and exterior of the church with additional high resolution capture focusing on the frescoes located in the interior. In addition to the documentation work, CyArk staff also provided a workshop to the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia as well as local architects from Ohrid.
