Recognized as a place where tradition meets modernity, Bitola is famed for its unique blend of Ottoman architecture showcased in its historical Old Bazaar and European elegance mirrored in the neoclassical buildings lining the famous Shirok Sokak Street. Regarded as the "city of consuls" due to the twelve different countries that have consulates here, Bitola is known for its rich cultural heritage, dating back to the period of the glorious Ottoman Empire. It is also the gateway to the ancient city of Heraclea Lyncestis, the fascinating archaeological site offering insight into Bitola’s classical history.
