Abstract: 

The locality Markovi kouli near the town of Prilep is a complex site of geological, botanical, archaeological, historical and cultural significance. It consists of Precambrian metamorphic rocks (gneiss and schists) intruded by Late Precambrian granodiorite. Erosion led to formation of beautiful landforms. Endemic plants species, fortress and monasteries add to the importance of thet remarkable complex site.
