Description
Single-nave church in the very heart of the medieval lower town of Prilep (today Varoš). Most probably erected in the second half of the 12th century on the site of Slavonic secular buildings from the 11th century. Frescoes from the second half of the 12th century and from 1298. The church of Saint Nicholas is mentioned as part of a boundary description of the property of the Metochion of the two Saint Theodores in the town of Prilep (počinae megja ōdь Barovu crьkvь, ōdь Svetogo Nikole, ta uzь dolь ōbьjemljušte Svetye (!)

| Treskavac 2 | Source | The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a second Slavonic charter in 1343/44 for the Monastery of Treskavec to the North of Prilep. He confirmed current properties and donated further villages, settlements, abandoned lands, summer and winter pastures, watermills, metochia and churches in the region of Prilep to the monastery. Božidar Ferjančić argued that the second charter (Treskavac 2) for the Monastery of Treskavec is a forgery, while the first and third (Treskavac 1 and 3) are authentic. Djordje Bubalo advanced the opinion that the second charter (Treskavac 2) is an unofficial document based on the first and the third charter (Treskavac 1 and 3). |
