Bitola
The city of consuls, second-largest city of Macedonia. Known for its unique renaissance / baroque style buildings, Bitola was the capital of the European Ottoman Empire during their occupation. Kamal Ataturk, founder of the Turkish state, attended military school in Bitola.
Costume museum, Prespalake
Once, a man with passion for folklore, started collecting traditional costumes as a hobby. Now that man has the biggest collection in the Balkans. It might not sound as the most exiting museum, believe me you will be surprised. The man gets no government support at all, but has been running and expanding his museum for nearly 20 years. His motivation? Pure love and passion for folklore. That’s why this museum is a must-see for everybody.
