The Monastery of Saint Pantaleon is a monastery in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia, located in Plaošnik. It is attributed to Clement of Ohrid, a disciple of St. Cyril and St. Methodius. Archaeologists have come to believe that the monastery was the site where the first students of the Glagolitic alphabet were taught. Clement, along with Naum of Ohrid, would then use the monastery as a base to teach the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets to the Christianized Slavs, thus making it a university. Judging by the architectural style and design of the monastery, researchers believe that St. Clement intended his building to be a literary school, making it the first and oldest discontinuous university in Europe. The exterior of the monastery contains a large number of finely detailed mosaics not far from a baptismal font used to baptize his disciples.
