Interesting relics of Greek then Romanian the byzantin empires. The entry fee is 100 Macedonian denar. Unfortunately the museum was closed and visit without it is very light and quick. Nevertheless the theater and mosaics are interesting. The site needs to be more protected and maintained some other Greek replica are much more interesting and well conserved

Small archeological site. Interesting the amphitheatre. Each part is well described.
In expected something bigger.
Maximum one hour visit is enough.

This is a very important historic site, the current remains are from the Roman period. Sadly there is no information on site other than a site map and even internet research does another give much detail. The site is only partly excavated and in winter the mosaics are protected in a layer of sand. However the site is very impressive and empty of tourists in winter. The theatre is well preserved with even the centre box in the seating area preserved. The museum was closed unfortunately. The site is open and the route involves climbing on Roman walls which can damage them, which I didn't like. I would like to see money invested in this facinating site.

Too bad I was there in the low-season so that the beautiful mosaics were covered to protect them.However,the guy at the ticket desk was so kind to show them on the internet.He was very informative,too!The site is tiny and easily walkable,I would say you may spend here half an hour /hour to see it all.

We were impressed with how well preserved the roman tiles were and how well restored the remains were. The guide ia someone who you can understand that loves the site's history and will give you an incredible inside about the it's history. Definitely a must go if you like roman history and remains.

The access to this hidden gem in the city of Bitola reminds of walking through a maze, but is definitively worth the effort. Not only the large amphitheatre displays the importance of this vanished urban municipality, but you will also discover several spirited and brightly painted mosaics. As one of the few visitors you will also be able to walk unhindered into the reminiscants of an old basilica with a baptistry.

We were the only visitors at the time of our visit. The site could be better maintained, and they could add some more information, but the place in itself is magical. The mosaics are impressive!

Note that the mosaics are covered up until the beginning of May to protect them from weather damage. They also now allow photography without additional entry fee

South of Bitola, on the slopes below the village Bukovo, the ruins of the ancient city Heraclea exist, which was main city center of Lynchestis area.
Heraclea is mentioned by most of the ancient writers: Polybius, Strabo, Caesar and others., in all itinerariums (Itinerarium Antonini and others.) in Tabula Peutingeriana as station on the road Heraclea - Stobi.
Heraclea is mentioned in historical sources as a city that was established by Philip II of Macedon, around the middle of the IV century BC. In its intention to extend the Macedonian state, Philip II in the border areas erected fortified cities, which served as the cornerstone of war and cultural expansion.

A surprisingly well kept secret with some truly outstanding mosaics. With a little more investment in facilities/add-ons, it could be a bigger draw for more than an hour of serene wandering.
