This site (Археолошки Локалитет Хераклеа Линкестис/Arheološki Lokalitet Heraklea Linkestis) houses some of the remains of the city of Iraklia Lykistis ("Lynx Heraclea" in Greek), founded by Philip II of Macedonia in the mid-4th century BC. Most of the visible features date from the late Roman era, including a theater and a large early Christian basilica. Unfortunately, the site is poorly promoted (no explanatory panels) and its most beautiful mosaic was damaged in 2022.

visite guidée un peu militante
au pied de la montagne du Pelister, ce modeste site antique jouit d'un cadre superbe.Les vestiges sont modestes, datent surtout de l'époque romaine, puis byzantine. Mais les mosaïques sont belles et attachantes. Nous avons eu un guide pour nous tout seuls, parlant très bien anglais. Son discours aurait pu nous faire rire, il brodait un véritable roman national macédonien autour de ces vestiges( oui le légendaire Philippe) auquel son peuple (les slavo-macédoniens) serait à rattacher. N'hésitez surtout pas à y aller

The small site touches the city of Bitula, which is convenient because we can walk there on foot. The site is nice with its small theater, remains of a fountain and other elements of the time. He deserves the detour.

Site archéologique à ne pas manquer! Les mosaïques sont superbes. Je ne sais pas pour quelle raison il faut payer pour prendre des photos mais franchement ça vaut le coup. Et si vous avez l' occasion d' assister à un concert dans l'amphithéâtre, c'est une expérience inoubliable!
Archaeological site or excavations are perpetual, new remains are updated every year. The most remarkable rooms are wall mosaics and on the ground of the churches. The number of pigments use is very impressive, and is worth the trip!
