Prilep

Prilep, known as the "City Under Marko's Towers," is a historic city in the Pelagonia region of North Macedonia. Famous for its tobacco industry and unique rock formations, Prilep offers visitors a fascinating blend of medieval history, natural beauty, and cultural heritage. The city is dominated by the imposing Marko's Towers, medieval fortress ruins that tell the story of the legendary King Marko.

The surrounding landscape is characterized by dramatic granite rock formations that create a unique "stone city" appearance. These rocks have been shaped by centuries of erosion into fantastic forms, providing a stunning backdrop to the city. Prilep is also home to the ancient Treskavec Monastery, one of the most important medieval monuments in the country, perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop with breathtaking views of the Pelagonia plain.
