WhereIsMacedonia.org
The Clock Tower in Bitola represents city center and is situated in the north part of the most famous Macedonian street -- Sirok Sokak (Широк Сокак - Wide Street).According to some sources the Clock Tower was built in the seventeenth century. Other still insufficiently validated scientific sources and distant folk memory, indicate that the clock tower was built at the same time with the church St. Dimitrij in 1830, during the period of Turkish rule.
The basic building material from which the construction is made is well formed stone and mortar. According to the legend, during the construction, as material for connecting the blocks were used 60,000 eggs, collected from rural households in Bitola. The intent of this was to make the tower walls stronger.
The Clock tower is 33 meters high, set on a square base with sides of 5.8 meters. On the north side it has a semi-circular arched entrance through which up, go stone stairs, spiral derived. At the end of the stairs, is the clock mechanism. On all four sides are built special metal plates on which are mounted clock hands and inscribed Roman numerals from one to twelve. The top part is a small dome which sits on a square plateau, protected with an iron fence.

Macedonia celebrates the 66th anniversary since the start of the National-Liberation War against the fascist occupation:
On 11th of October, 1941 the Macedonian People rose against the fascist occupation in Macedonia. This liberation uprising evolved later in the Macedonian State of 1944.
During World War II (1941-1945), ethnic Macedonians took part in the anti-fascist coalition for creating their own state Macedonia, respecting the promise from the Atlantic charter that all nations who take part in the struggle against fascism shall choose their own form of government and shall be afforded the means of dwelling in safety within their own boundaries, and which will afford assurance that all the men in all lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want.
As a result, on 11 October 1941 in the Vardar part of Macedonia there was simultaneous uprising against the fascist occupation in Prilep and Kumanovo, where as in 1942 there were uprisings in the Aegean part of Macedonia (in Lerin and Kostur) headed by Lazo Trpovski and in the Pirin part of Macedonia (in Dupnica) headed by Nikola Parapunov. In spite of the lack of coordination, the intention was clear - liberation of the entire territory of Macedonia. However, only the people in the Vardar part managed to create a state in the face of the People's Republic of Macedonia within the framework of then Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. The ethnic Macedonians in the Pirin part of Macedonia were granted autonomy and certain cultural and ethnic rights in 1946, but these rights were revoked at the end of the decade at the height of the cold war. In the Aegean part of Macedonia there was a civil war in which the ethnic Macedonians took part hoping to acquire certain ethnic and cultural right, however at the end of the civil war hundreds of thousands of ethnic Macedonians were exiled and any show of ethnic Macedonian identity was banned.
A Fast Stop in Lively Bitola, Macedonia
Bitola was an important junction connecting the south of the Adriatic Sea with the Aegean Sea and Central Europe; an important consulate city, trade center for the Roman Empire and second largest city in Macedonia.
Unfortunately, we only had one hour in lively Bitola that has many historic sights to see as well as a pedestrian street lined with restaurants and cafes. This walking area led past wonderful Art Deco architecture that is, believe it or not, undamaged.
There is an imposing Statue of King Phillip II, Clock tower, an old Bedestan, synagogue which we could not manage to locate and a Film Festival is held yearly, dedicated to the Monarki brothers who went to California in 1903-1904 and came back with the first movie camera. Definitely not enough time in Bitola.
