Description

Golemo Radobil (also Veliko Radobilo, Veliki Radobil, Radobil) is a mountain village, located to the north-east of the town of Prilep in the upper catchment area of the river Raec. The village is to be found at an altitude of 620 meters. In the "Ethnography of the Vilayet Adrianople, Monastir and Thessalonica", which was published in Constantinople in 1878 and in which the statistics of the male population from 1873 are given, Radobil-golémo is indicated as a village in the caza Prilep with 64 households and 271 citizens. The name of the village points to the existence of Vlach population in the respective area.
In Golemo Radobil there is a church dedicated to "St. Nicholas". It is a three-nave basilica with a semicircular apse in the east. It was erected in 1870. On the west side there is an open porch, built at the same time with the church. Apart from the newer church, which is located in the middle, there was an older church. At the entrance of this church there were two marble plates, and on one of them there is a Greek inscription reading "Brought from Tsarev Dab".
