The Monument of Liberty lies on a hill above Kocani. You have a good view over the town from here.

The monument was built in 1981 and has very colorful graffiti-like mosaics. It can also function as a open air theater.

When we visited in 2011, it was not in great state anymore, slightly overgrown and a lot of the stones and pavement were broken.

We were welcomed by a shy donkey!

Defense Tower

This Ottoman defense tower was probably built in the second half of the 17th century.

It can be found west of the river and is in better condition than the tower on the east side of the river.

Note the wooden hatch in the balcony, just above the entrance. This was probably used to throw hot oil etc on enemies attempting to enter the tower.

you can walk by the river in Kocani and enjoy it's beauty.
You can see the orthodox Christian church in Kocani - St. George.
And you definitely have to see our Monument of the fallen warriors.
Or simply you can go to our shopping center, buy yourself some stuff and drink a good coffee with a friend.

Pizzeria Kapri

We had a quick lunch in this pizzeria at the shopping center of Kocani.

I had a pastrmajlija with an exaggerated amount of pork meat (well, you don't hear me complain..) and my girlfriend had a vegetarian pizza.

This cost about 500 MKD (about 8 euros) including several softdrinks.
