Prilep, Sveti Dimitrie Place The church lies in the east of the former medieval lower town of Prilep (today Varoš). It formed an integral part of the town's medieval main square and was erected in several phases from the 12th until the 14th century. The original building was a small one-nave church (second half of the 12th century). In 1284 the whole church was decorated with new frescoes. A fundamental reconstruction was undertaken in the middle of the 14th century. Two frescoes of donors from the 14th century are preserved (one depicting Dimitrije Misinopolit, a representative of a famous noble family in Prilep). Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated the Metochion of Saint Demetrius with its fields, vineyards and watermills as well as with its fair in the year 1334/35 (Metohь Svetii Dimitrїe u Prilěpě, što priložihu Misinopolitova dětьca, sь nivijemь i sь vinogradi i sь voděnicami i sь Kučьkověne selištemь i sь panagiromь i sь vьseju pravinoju togo).

Treskavac 1 Source After the conquest of the town of Prilep and its surrounding area, King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a Slavonic charter in 1334/35 for the Monastery of Treskavec to the North of Prilep. He donated villages, settlements, abandoned lands, summer and winter pastures, watermills, metochia and churches as well as a fair in the town 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).
