A large town located in the Pelagonia Valley of south-central Macedonia, Prilep has been inhabited since Neolithic times. In the later 14th century, it was for a time the capital of Macedonia’s most famous medieval king, Krali Marko, a legendary warrior who became an important figure in Macedonian epic poetry.
