Macedonia / Ohrid /
 city, UNESCO World Heritage Site, former national capital
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.

The seat of the historical Bulgarian Archbishopric of Ohrid 1019-1767, the cultural and military centre of the southwestern part of the First Bulgarian Empire since Boris I and the capital of Tsar Samiul (997-1014 CE).
