| Krusevo (native: Крушево) is a small
but picturesque town. It resembles a magic painting by an old
master. Situated at an altitude of 1350m, Krusevo is the highest
town in the Balkans. The chance guest will not be wrong if they
style Krusevo as a museum of old architecture. The town is
full of old and more recent houses built in the style of old
Macedonian architecture. Krushevo proudly preserves the memory of the renowned Ilinden
Uprising of the Macedonian people on 2nd August, 1903. In this
town, the Ilinden insurrectionists established the Krusevo
Republic which only ten days later was suppressed in blood by
the Turks. A few kilometres away from the town is the historical
site of Meckin Kamen. In the surrounding's there is also an
artificial lake, and Krusevo continues to be a well known centre
and a climatic health resort. |
