PLATANE D'OHRID
Go there and contact
This beautiful and venerable plane tree (Охридскиот Чинар/Ohridskiot Činar) is the most famous tree in the country. Referred to by the generic Turkish term çınar ("sycamore"), it is actually an Oriental plane tree(Platanus orientalis). Legend has it that it was planted in the 10th century by St. Clement of Ohrid himself. A plaque installed on site by the municipality in 2019 accredits this theory. But its presence is actually more recent. It dates back to the fifteenth century, at the beginning of the Ottoman period, when the charchia was built.
