The Monastery of Treskavec (Macedonian: Манастир Трескавец), or St. Bogorodica, is a monastery situated on the rocky Mount Zlatovrv, 8 km north of Prilep, in the Republic of Macedonia.^[1] Built in the 12th century, it currently has only one monk.^[2]

The monastery possesses a large collection of Byzantine frescoes.^[3] The oldest remaining date from the 15th century.^[4]

It was rebuilt in the 14th century by Stephen Uroš II Milutin of Serbia and Stephen Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia.^[5] In mid 16th century it was renovated by Duke Dimitrije Pepić of Kratovo.^[6]

However, the monastery was destroyed by a fire in the early 2010s and, apart from the church, it is now in ruins. As of 2015, no restoration work has been launched by the Macedonian government.^{[citation needed]}
