The Monastery of the Holy Mother of God known as Treskavec is located to the North of the city of Prilepat below the rocky mountain peak Zlatovrv. The oldest part of its main church (katholikon), dedicated to the Dormition of the Holy Mother of God, dates back to the end of the 12th century or the first half of the 13th century, whereas considerable construction works in the same church were carried out during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282-1328) and several decades later, between 1330 and 1350.
The upper part of one of the attached photographs shows the Monastery of Treskavec during the First World War. Its title "Kloster Varos" is misleading, because this monastery lies, as mentioned above, in the mountains to the North of the town of Prilep and is not situated in the Old Town (Varoš) of Prilep.
During our survey in the area of research in May 2025 we took a photograph from the same angle as the one published in Bilder vom mazedonischen Kriegsschauplatz (München 1919), which facilitates a comparison and helps us to understand, in which way the monument has changed over time.
