Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ohrid


The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ohrid (also Archdiocese of Achrida, Archdiocese of Ochrida or Archdiocese of Acrida, Latin: Achridanus seu Ochridanus) was a Latin Catholic archdiocese, suppressed in the 1700s,[1][2] and is now a titular see, at modern Ohrid in North Macedonia.[3]

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

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.

At its suppression in 1700, the former Latin residential archdiocese became a Latin Catholic titular archbishopric of the highest (Metropolitan) rank.

It is vacant, having had the following incumbents, all of the fitting archiepiscopal rank (and Latin, except the first) :

In 1911, an Armenian Catholic (Armenian Rite in Armenian language) Metropolitan titular archbishopric was also established.
