	BITOLA TRHOUGH THE CENTURIES
		It is considered that Bitola fell under Turkish rule in 1385/86 after the fierce fight and pulling down of the city fortress.
		In this sense Bitola was ahead in many segments: song, folk dance, embroidery, frescos, icons, folk dance tradition, oral tradition, literary work (even though very often written with foreign letters), wood-carving etc. No force could stop the folk artistic genius.
		That is why Bitola meets the second half of the 19th and the first decade of the 20th century as a “consular city”.
