What to expect
Heraclea Lyncestis, also spelled Herakleia Lynkestis, was an ancient Greek city in Macedon, ruled later by the Romans. Its ruins are situated 2 km south of the present-day town of Bitola, North Macedonia.
Bitola Museum
Bitola's history museum is a little unkempt but has interesting displays on local archaeology, regional architecture, revolutionary history and the area's role in WWI. There's even a reconstruction of a 19th-century Bitola drawing room and a memorial room to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the father of modern Turkey, who attended military high school in Bitola. There are English-language translations throughout.
Shirok Sokak Street
Širok Sokak is a long pedestrian street in Bitola, North Macedonia. The street is considered to be the centre of Bitola. It roughly starts at Magnolia Square and ends in the City Park. It is graced with neo-classical buildings that contain stores, cafés and restaurants. Širok Sokak is also home to several consulates
The Clock Tower of Bitola, known as Saat Kula, is a clock tower and one of the landmarks of the Macedonian city of Bitola. The Clock tower in Bitola, unlike obsolete water towers which were built by the Austro Magjar empire, is a very practical monument aiding people with the time of day.
