Old hamam and mosque of Banica

Ruined Ottoman hamam and old mosque in Banica, just outside Strumica

Banica's old mosque and Mehmed Aga Hamam are rough-edged reminders of the village's Ottoman past. The 16th-century mosque still stands with a minaret, while the 17th-century bathhouse is ruined but readable enough to make the stop worthwhile if you are already exploring Strumica's nearby monasteries and archaeological sites.
