Kratovo a city of medieval towers and bridges with Kuklice-stone dolls

The town has unique and interesting architecture from the Ottomans. It was mentioned in the Byzantine period, and today's name originates from the location of the city in the crater of an extinguished volcano. The architecture is characterized by narrow and steep streets, multiple bridges, as well as a number of traditional individual older and newer architectural buildings. Kratovo was a significant trade center in the past for gold, silver, and copper. The old bridges represent an appropriate expression of the construction in the Turkish period in our country. Lesnovo M. is the best preserved among Byzantine endowments of the 14th c. in the Balkans and one the most visually stunning and culturally significant monasteries in Macedonia. It's known for manuscript-writing school and the wood-carved iconoclastic from 1811. Beauty of the nature, exceptional architecture, rich history, outstanding paintings is worth visiting this remarkably place. And unique volcano scene of stone dolls of the wedding party.
