Radoviš is a city positioned in the southeastern part of the Republic of Macedonia. The city is the seat of Radoviš Municipality, which is spread on the bottom of mountain Plaškovica and the northern part of the Strumica valley. The main road Strumica is tangentially placed on the township of Radoviš. This road is a main communication route with other parts of the country. After the settlement of the Slavs, during the rule of Samuel of Bulgaria, Radoviš became a business centre while the medieval town of Konče was a monastery and episcopal centre. As a settlement and a regional town parish, Radoviš is mentioned for the first time in the deed of the Byzantine emperor Basil II in 1019. At that time, the town was located in the North-West of the town’s present location, on the banks of the Old river, where we can find traces of several churches, for example St. Archangel church. In the 14th century, after the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, Radoviš found itself in the Serb medieval state. In 1361, the tsar Uroč sojourned in Radoviš. During the Ottoman Empire, in the 17th Century under the Kyustendil sanjak, it belonged to the diocese of the Kustendil metropolitan. At that time, the town had 3,000 - 4,000 inhabitants.
