Prilep

The name Prilep derives from Old Slavic and means 'stuck on the rock'.

Prilep produces a large quantity of Macedonian Bianco Sivec, which is pure white marble.

In 2007, archeological excavations in Bonče revealed a tomb believed to be that of a Macedonian ruler from the 4th century BC.

The art colony in Prilep, founded in 1957, is considered one of the oldest in the Balkans.

The dialect of Prilep forms the basis for the Standard Macedonian language.
