Founded by Phillip II of Macedon in the 4th century BC, Bitola is Macedonia’s oldest, and second largest city, but its preserved reminders from when it was ruled by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Slavs, and Ottomans. On the outskirts of town, you’ll find the remains of Heraclea Lyncestis, the original city founded by Philip II of Macedon, and later built upon by the Romans and Byzantines. Walking atop the ruined walls, you’ll see staples like baths, temples, and an early Christian church, but the real highlight are the incredibly well-preserved mosaics. In the sleepy Magnolia Square, you’ll be able to see the 17th century Clock Tower, 16th century Yeni Mosque, and and the 18th century Church St. Dimitrija with its amazing carved and gilded iconostasis. It’s also worth wandering the Stara Čaršija, the old Turkish Bazaar, where you’ll find traditional crafts and an authentic food market.
