Ohrid is credited as being the birthplace of the Cyrillic alphabet, which was most probably created by St. Clement of Ohrid (Kliment Ohridski), although recent scholarship has suggested that it was created in the Preslav Literary School in northwestern Bulgaria. Climent combined the Greek alphabet with the Glagolic alphabet that had been created by the brothers St. Cyril and Methodius.
