TSAR Samuil of the Bulgarian Empire made Ohrid his capital and built Ohrid Castle in the late-900s, possibly on the hilltop site of fortifications built by Philip II of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great.

| Because I walked to Ohrid, I approached the castle unconventionally up a track from a mainly Muslim part of the modern city |
 |
| Parts of the castle have been reconstructed, as I think is clear from this imposing tower |
 |
| This wall looks original |
 |
| Entrance costs 80 deni (about £1.10) for locals, 120 deni (about £1.70) for foreigners |
The remaining photos show views in and from the castle.
