Heraclea Lyncestis, also spelled Herakleia Lynkestis, was an ancient Greek city in Macedon, ruled later by the Romans. Its ruins are situated 2 km south of the present-day town of Bitola, North Macedonia.
Bitola's history museum is a little unkempt but has interesting displays on local archaeology, regional architecture, revolutionary history and the area's role in WWI. There's even a reconstruction of a 19th-century Bitola drawing room and a memorial room to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the father of modern Turkey, who attended military high school in Bitola. There are English-language translations throughout.
