Written sources from the 16th century mention a clock tower, but it is unclear if it is the same. Some believe it was built at the same time as St. Dimitrija Church in 1830. Legend says that the Ottoman authorities collected around 60,000 eggs from nearby villages and mixed them in the <a href="/wiki/Mortar_(masonry)" title="Mortar (masonry)">mortar</a> to make the walls stronger. </p><p>The tower has a rectangular base and is about 30 meters high. Near the top is a rectangular terrace with an iron fence. On each side of the fence is an iron console construction which holds the lamps for lighting the clock. The clock is on the highest of three levels. The original clock was replaced during World War II with a working one, given by the Nazis because the city had maintained German graves from World War I. The massive tower is composed of walls, massive spiral stairs, wooden mezzanine constructions, <a href="/wiki/Pendentive" title="Pendentive">pendentives</a> and the dome. During the construction of the tower, the façade was simultaneously decorated with simple stone plastic. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Church_of_Saint_Demetrius">Church of Saint Demetrius</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bitola&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Church of Saint Demetrius"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Church of <a href="/wiki/Saint_Demetrius" class="mw-redirect" title="Saint Demetrius">Saint Demetrius</a> was built in 1830 with the voluntary contributions of local merchants and craftsmen.

The frescoes originate from two periods: the end of the 19th century and the end of <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> to the present. The icons and frescoes were created thanks to voluntary contributions of local businessmen and citizens. The authors of many of the icons had a vast knowledge of iconography schemes of the <a href="/wiki/New_Testament" title="New Testament">New Testament</a>.

Although the bazaar appears secure, it has been robbed and set on fire, but has managed to survive. The bedisten, from the 15th to the 19th centuries, was rebuilt, and many stores, often changing over time, were located there. Most of them were selling textile and other luxurious fabrics. At the same time the Bedisten was a treasury, where in specially made small rooms the money from the whole Rumelian Vilaet was kept, before it was transferred into the royal treasury. In the 19th century the Bedisten contained 84 shops. Today most of them are contemporary and they sell different types of products, but despite the internal renovations, the outwards appearance of the structure has remained unchanged.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The Bulgarians had a big school and church. If anyone had suggested that Monastir was Serb or ever likely to be Serb, people would have thought him mad—or drunk. The pull was between Greek and Bulgarian, there was no mention of the Serbs. There was a large "Greek" population, both in town and country, but of these a very large proportion were Vlachs. Many were South Albanians, others were Slavs. Few probably were genuine Greeks. But they belonged to the Greek branch of the Orthodox Church, and were categorized as Greek in the census. Those Slavs who called themselves Serbs, and the Serb schoolmasters who had come for propaganda purposes, all went to the Greek churches."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Ortayli_2006_89-8-53"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Ortayli_2006_89-8_53-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Ortaylı, İlber. <i>"Son İmparatorluk Osmanlı (The Last Empire: Ottoman Empire)"</i>, İstanbul, Timaş Yayınları (Timaş Press), 2006. pp. 87–89. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/975-263-490-7" title="Special:BookSources/975-263-490-7">975-263-490-7</a> <span class="languageicon">(in Turkish)</span>.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-54"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-54">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBELLO2012" class="citation journal cs1">BELLO, DHIMITRI (2012).

ITSH: 107–108. <q>Here I want to emphasize once again the fact that in cities, many so-called Turks, especially in Bitola and Skopje, are Albanians, which is also noticed by the emphasis they give to the articulation of Turkish words, such as. kàve instead of kave, mànda instead of mandà etc. In public they speak Turkish, while in families - Albanian; they call themselves "Turks", but in fact they mean Muhammadan, while the real Turks call them "Turkish ushak" (Turkish chimney). In the villages they are easily distinguished by the clothes, by the agricultural tools they use, by the carts (to the Anatolians the wheels are made of wooden washers). In all cases, the importance of Albanians in Northern Macedonia is greatly underestimated. It is difficult to give an accurate figure for their number due to the mix of population, so rightly many well-known countries, which are interested in this, express distrust of statistics. Since I have a trustworthy statistic like Cartes ethnographiques des vilayets de Selonique, Kossovo et Monastir, litographiées par i'Institut cartographique de Sofia, 1907, with some recent elaborations by Prof. Mladenov, as well as the corrections and additions, made under the care of Mr. Mit'hat bej Frashëri, will not hesitate to publish this material.
