SITE ARCHÉOLOGIQUE DE GRADIŠTE-BRAZDA
Read moreThis small site (Археолошки Локалите Градилиште Бразда/Arheološki Lokalitet Gradište Brazda) contains a monumental tomb from the5th or 4th century BC discovered in 1986. It is a burial chamber, known as "royal", made of cut stone buried in the ground and with a dromos (corridor). The region was then occupied by the Peonian tribe of Agrianes. The tomb evokes those of Greek Macedonia. But its particular structure suggests that it could be Athenian.
ST. ELIAS MONASTERY OF ЧАРДАК (ИЛИЈА СВЕТИ СВЕТИ МАНАСТИР)
Read moreThis Orthodox monastery (Мирковски Манастир/Mirkovski Manastir) was founded in 1879, in a period of tension between the Bulgarian and Serbian clergy. It was in fact created by a Bulgarian monk to divert the faithful from the St. Elias Monastery in Banjane, which was then under the Serbian patriarchate. The small catholicon (main church), which dates from 1879, has a rich iconoclast made around 1950 by the last great master of the Debar school, Nestor Alexiev (1878-1969).
