| Abstract: | ▪ The territory of the Balkan peninsula and hence the territory of Republic of
Macedonia has unfortunately been characterized by a high level of technological and
natural hazards in the past and at present. It is a fact that long world wars have often
been waged and started in this area. Also, all the Balkan countries are situated in one
of the seismically most active regions in Europe characterized by occurrence of
strong devastating earthquakes. ▪ On the other hand, this has been an area of development, existence and perishing of many different civilizations, peoples and cultures starting from the prehistoric times until now. Material evidence, first of all, in the form of architectonic structures of a sacral nature exist today in traces and there are archaeological localities from the classical period, but also in fragments, or entire buildings and complexes dating back to the Medieval times. A total of 154 Medieval churches and monasteries are presently registered and put under the protection of the Law |
