This spacious pedestrian area, called Metodi Satarov Sarlo, is next to the old Turkish part of Prilep, where also the Clock Tower can be found.
The pictures were taken on a national holiday, when it was extremely quiet on this otherwise crowded square.

The monastery can be found relatively close to the Towers of Marko, in a part of Prilep called Varos.
It has a big 15th-century iron doorway. Underneath the main inn is a deep well, that can be entered through a small doorway. Take your flashlight!
The second oldest Cyrillic inscription in Macedonia can be found here, carved at eye-level into the far right pillar as you stand in the exonarthex.
The monastery only houses nuns.
The church of St Atanas, without a roof now, is not far from the monastery of St Michael the Archangel.

While you are in downtown Prilep take a taxi and tell the driver to drive to the St. Arhangel Mihail monastery. The taxi costs approximately $2. You can look at the church there, and you will have nice view of the city of Prilep.It is about a 20 minute walk back to downtown.

The city clock is located in the old bazar, downtown. With its specific look it is recognised as a mark of the city Prilep. The locals also have another name for the clock, they call it ZERO POINT.
