() (literally meaning '''Macedonian Ford''') is a town in the central part of the country, on the south-eastern part of
Suva Gora , western
Karadžica and south-western
Dautica mountains. The town is a seat of the
Makedonski Brod Municipality .
Makedonski Brod is one of the smallest towns in Macedonia. It is located in the region of Poreche and is the centre of the region. The town lies on the banks of the upper region of the river
Treska .
In the location of the present-day town, there was a bridge that connected the towns of
Prilep and
Kičevo , which gave the name of the town. According to a tomb inscription found in the village of Krapa, it was determined that the area was populated by the
Romans . Later, with the arrival of Slavs to the Balkan peninsula, the Slavic tribe
Berziti (Brsjaci) settled here.
In the vicinity of Makedonski Brod, near the village of Devič, are visible remnants of buildings that confirm that in this region, in the middle ages, there was a town/settlement which functioned as a centre for the entire area.
Also to be seen is the Devina Tower, built in the vicinity of the cave Pešna, here also may be found remnants of the town's walls which were, according to legend, built by the young girl Pešna, sister of the hero
Krale (King) Marko .
In the town and its vicinity a large number of churches were built, among which are the town's
Church St. Mary ,
St. Dimitrius in the village of
Trebino ,
St. Nicholas in the village of
Plasnica , etc.
