Summary/Abstract: The paper is dedicated to one of the largest megalithic sanctuaries in the Balkans. The Rocky Peak of Mount Zlatovrh near Prilep in the Republic of Northern Macedonia is sacred. Archaeological monuments testify to millennial cult continuity: the megalithic sanctuary dating back to the Bronze and Iron Age is inherited from the architectural temple of Apollo. Later, an early Christian basilica was built here, and in the Middle Ages it was inherited from the Treskavec Monastery. Intangible cultural heritage also testifies to a particularly important cult site with millennial history.
