Varoš Monastery sits below Marko's Towers, tucked into the rocky slope above Prilep. Its church is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, and the mix of stone, old fresco fragments, and mountain setting gives it more atmosphere than its modest size suggests.
It pairs naturally with the walk up to the fortress. Stop here on the way up or down, especially if you are interested in Byzantine church art and the religious history of the old Varoš quarter.
