History

Ancient Achrida, in the Roman province of Epirus Novus, was the capital of the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Ohrid, which became Orthodox.

Among its suffragans was the Diocese of Bela and the Diocese of Tzernicus (in Epirus).

In 1300 or 1320,[2] a new Latin Catholic archdiocese was founded. It was suppressed in 1700,[2] but would have two Catholic successor titular archbishoprics.
