Bitola, Historical trade center in southwestern North Macedonia
The city stretches across the Pelagonia valley at 576 meters elevation, surrounded by the Baba, Nidže, and Kajmakčalan mountain ranges.
Philip II of Macedon established Heraclea Lyncestis in the 4th century BC, which developed into present-day Bitola with archaeological remains of porticos and theaters.
The Brothers Manaki Festival honors the first Balkan cinematographers through annual screenings of documentary and fiction films at multiple venues.
The city center maintains direct transportation connections to Greece, located just 14 kilometers from the Medžitlija-Níki border crossing point.
The name Bitola originates from Old Church Slavonic, referring to the numerous monasteries that once populated this regional capital.
