1 review

Located north of Stara Čaršija, the Pit Pazar (Бит-Пазар, Bit-Pazar) is the country's largest market: 15,000m2 (a small part of which is covered) and over a thousand stalls. You'll find everything: fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheeses, honey, rakija, ajvar, infusions, clothes, telephony, household appliances... Also on site: cafés, small restaurants and pharmacies. Although its name is of Turkish origin ("flea market"), it dates back to the Byzantine period, with a fair organized from the 11th century onwards around the St. George monastery, which disappeared in Ottoman times.
