Ранохристиjанските базилики во Кратовскиот регион
Early Christian basilicas in the region of Kratovo

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will be presenting the early Christian basilicas in the region of Kratovo. In this region, there are five basilicas, and they are located in the western part of the region of Kratovo. Three of the basili¬cas are located in the village of Konjuh, and the other two in the villages Vakav and Filipovci. The basilicas in the archaeological site Golemo Gradiste at Konjuh village, probably the ancient city of Tranupara noted in IV century, were excavated during the last six decades. These basilicas are: large city basilica (intra muros), Cemetery basilica (extra muros) and martyrium rotunda (circular basilica). These basilicas are dated between the 4th and the 6th century. The researcher A. Keramitciev discovered the rest of the basilicas during the last century. Probably those basilicas are from the same period like the basilicas in the village of Konjuh. In this paper, the accent will be on the other two unknown basilicas, one located in the archaeological site Cukarka at Vakav village and the other at the archaeological site St. Ilija in the Filipovci village.
