CAREVI KULI – STRUMICA

Carevi Kuli is a recognizable monument of medieval architecture in the central part of the Balkan. The remains of the medieval fortress continue to rise on the hill that dominates the city of Strumica and they present a mute witness of the epochs that marked the historical events in this region. In the historical documents of Evliya Chelebi, known as a man of learning, data about the size of the fortress above Strumica were mentioned for the first time. In addition to Evliya Chelebi, who visited this area in 1670, the fortress above Strumica was also mentioned by the Byzantine diplomat and writer Nicephorus Gregoras in 1327. These are the only historical data about the fortress when it was still in active service.

The destiny of Carevi Kuli is closely related to the fate of the city of Strumica. The hill above the town, on which the present medieval fortress lies, was inhabited many millennia ago, back in prehistory. This favorable place, both for living and for military fortification, was used in compliance with the needs of the past epochs. In this area, settlements were created and disappeared, and in some epochs, especially during prehistory, the hill remained completely empty. Beginning from antiquity to this day, civilizations that left significant or weaker traces of their presence have built their own manuscript on Carevi Kuli.

The locality is located in the South-Eastern part of R.N. Macedonia, on the hill that rises south of the city of Strumica, with an average altitude of 450 m. The plateau extends 210 m in the East-West direction and about 80 m in the North-South direction. From the North-West and South-East sides of the hill, steep slopes descend to the streams Koritniche and St. Elijah. In the past, the plateau had a proper elongated oval shape. Over the last several centuries, two or three landslides, that have cut the plateau, have been created on the East, North, and North-West sides. The last major devastations were probably due to the earthquake that struck the Valandovo region in 1931.

Besides the medieval fortress, the locality is organically composed of the necropolis in the sector of South Hill, prehistoric settlement on the southeast slope, and the terrace on the Eastside.

  • museumbolaJika Anda baru memulai dengan aplikasi afiliasi, konsep periklanan dan promosi afiliasi
    ini akan membantu Anda mendapatkan lebih banyak komisi
    dari usaha Anda. Meskipun beberapa konsep ini mungkin tampak jelas, konsep
    tersebut cukup penting untuk menjamin bahwa wirausahawan baru tidak pernah mengabaikan beberapa ide yang lebih sederhana
    untuk berhasil dalam periklanan dan pemasaran afiliasi.
    Hanya karena berbagai pemasar terbaik mempromosikan Sistem X,
    tidak berarti Anda harus melakukannya. Bagi mereka yang melihat
    iklan dan artikel lebih dari sekadar sistem promosi online yang
    mengajarkan orang bagaimana Anda dapat menghasilkan uang,
    misalnya, dan mereka terus berbicara tentang betapa hebatnya itu
    dan berapa banyak uang yang dapat Anda hasilkan,
    itu tidak benar. pada dasarnya berarti Anda akan mendapatkan hasil bagus yang sama persis.

    Banyak dari internet marketer 'top' tersebut memiliki milis yang luas dan komunitas situs promosi (dan banyak di antaranya memiliki pemasar afiliasi sendiri) setelah mereka
    mulai mengiklankan solusinya, jadi tentu saja penjualan kotor mereka akan sangat baik.
