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]

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]
