Description
Photographs, which were made during the First World War, show two monuments in Prilep, which have been destroyed. The first was a mosque called "Akmescit" ("White Mosque"). Neither the year of its erection, nor the year of its destruction are known. The second was an Ottoman stone bridge called "Kjemerlija" over the river Dabnica (Dabnička Reka), which was built at the end of the 19th century. It had three arches, was 12 m long and 4,95 m wide. The Macedonian word "kjemer" means "arched". The remnants of the bridge were torn down after 2012 and were replaced by a roundabout.
