Bitola (native: Битола), the second largest town
in the Republic of Macedonia, is situated in the
extreme South, close to the border with Greece. It lies at the
foot of Mt. Pelister (a national Park), in the Pelagonian region,
Macedonia's granary, at a height between 580 and 660 meters
above the sea level.
Being located on well-known Roman road Via Egnatia, which was
connecting the towns from the Adriatic coast with those on the
Aegean coast, Bitola was the center of numerous historical events
which were milestones in the life and development of the peoples
of this region. Very often destroyed and set on fire, the town
persistently recovered and grew into a bigger, and more beautiful
and dignified one. The population of Bitola is currently close
to 100,000 people. |
