The Monastery of Sveti Jovan Bigorski (Macedonian: Манастир Свети Јован Бигорски) is an Orthodox monastery in the west of the Republic of North Macedonia, founded in 1020. Its good structural condition as well as a large six-row, wood-framed iconostasis and a three-row gallery of Orthodox saints and biblical motifs on the outer wall of the monastery church make it one of the most important cultural sights in the country. The name of the monastery is derived from John the Baptist, to whom the monastery is dedicated. The nickname Bigorski is derived from the tuff rock (Macedonian: bigor), which was used as building material. The current abbot of the monastery has been the Macedonian bishop Partenij Antaniski since 1995.
