Mečkin Kamen, Memorial monument in Kruševo, North Macedonia

The Mečkin Kamen monument features a sculpture of an insurgent holding a rock, positioned at an elevation of 1,423 meters near Kruševo.

During the Ilinden Uprising of 1903, Pitu Guli and his fighters made their final stand at this location defending the Kruševo Republic against Ottoman forces.

The monument, created by sculptor Dimo Todorovski in 1983, has inspired numerous Macedonian folk songs and poems about the resistance movement.

Located 3.42 kilometers from Kruševo's main square, the site offers parking facilities and is connected to the town by regular transportation services.

Every August 2nd, the site hosts one of North Macedonia's main Republic Day celebrations, drawing government officials and citizens for commemorative ceremonies.
