KUMANOVO

Kumanovo is an economic, trading and cultural centre in the northern part of Macedonia which lies at an altitude of 324m above sea level. The town's prosperity rests upon agriculture, the metal-processing, tobacco, footwear and textile industries.
The Church of St Georgi at the Monastery of Staro Nagoricane is the best known cultural and historical monument. The church was built in the 11th century and was reconstructed in the 14th.
The town has an outstanding revolutionary tradition. Together with Prilep, it was in Kumanovo that the antifascist insurrection of the Macedonian people and its struggle for national and social liberation began on 11th October 1941. A monument dedicated to the Revolution was erected in the centre of the town while the tomb of the fallen soldiers is in its suburbs.
The Kumanovo Spa springs, known for their healing power, are situated in the immediate vicinity of the town.
