Roman ruins and baths

Bitola is an ancient city, and there are traces of life from over 5000 years ago. It is in this meadow where the Lyncestis tribe is installed, whose main center is Heraclea. Founded in the mid-4th century by Philip II of Macedonia, the city of Heraclea passed under Roman rule in the year 168 BC. It was at this time the city Pelagonia became the heart of the region and ancient Macedonia became the only Roman province of the Balkan Peninsula. Heraclea is in one of the most used roads, the Via Egnatia, which runs from the Adriatic Sea to the Aegean Sea, and develops crossing communication and business.

In the ruins is the amphitheater and Roman baths. Entrance is 100 MKD, which is 1.50 but if you want to take photos they charge 10 euros! The mosaics of the ancient basilica are exceptional. It's a shame because they are left in the sun and lose their colors. There is also a small museum with objects.
