Archaeological

Prosek, also known as Stenae, is an archaeological site of a former city in North Macedonia. It was capital city of the independent rulers Dobromir Chrysos (from the 1190s to 1202) and Strez (from 1208 to 1214). Its ruins were discovered in 1948, about 1 km south of the town of Demir Kapija. There were found 4 towers, many ceramic objects, jewelry, coins, acropolis and necropolis. This settlement had an excellent strategical war position. The site is located on a limestone plateau surrounded by a curve of Vardar river. The sheer cliffs and the river make the area suitable for defense. A narrow gap between the rocks leads to the only entrance to the fortress.
