Debar, Municipal center in western North Macedonia.
Located at an elevation of 625 meters, Debar sits near Lake Debar and the Black Drin River in a mountain region near the Albanian border.
The Byzantine Empire documented Debar's presence, and the Albanian noble Gropa family controlled the region from the 12th to early 14th century.
The Mijak School of woodcarving maintains its traditions through religious monuments, particularly visible at the Monastery of Saint Jovan Bigorski.
The city offers numerous accommodations and dining options, with an unusually high concentration of pizzerias serving the local population of 14,561.
The Monastery of Saint Jovan Bigorski, dating from 1021, displays exceptional woodcarving artistry and religious artifacts from different periods.
