MARKO'S FORTRESS


Marko's fortress is near Prilep, but no one knows exactly when it was built. In terms of walled area, the fortress is one of the largest in the Balkans. Built of mortar-bound undressed stone, the citadel had several towers and four circuits of walls. Archaeological diggings suggest a possible fifth circle of walls. This is one of the best preserved medieval castle's in Macedonia.
