Bitola Municipality Essentials

Bitola Municipality centers on the historic city of Bitola and the Baba Mountain massif within Pelister National Park. The region features the 4th-century BC ruins of Heraclea Lyncestis, which include a preserved Roman theater and intricate Paleo-Christian mosaics. Ottoman-era landmarks like the 16th-century Clock Tower and the Gazi Hajdar Kadi Mosque define the urban center. In the surrounding highlands, Pelister National Park contains the high-altitude glacial lakes known as Golemo and Malo Ezero, alongside the 19th-century Monastery of St. Christopher.
