Bitola formerly known as Monastir, is located in the southern part of the Pelagonija valley, surrounded by the Baba and Nidze mountains, 14 km north of the Medzitlija-Niki border crossing with Greece. It is an important junction connecting the south of the Adriatic Sea with the Aegean Sea and Central Europe. It has been known since the Ottoman period as "the city of the consuls", since many European countries have consulates in Bitola. According to some sources, Bitola is the second largest city in the country.
