Radovis is a city positioned in the southeastern part of the Republic of Macedonia. The city is the seat of Radovis Municipality, which is spread on the bottom of mountain Plaskovica and the northern part of the Strumica valley. The main road Strumica is tangentially placed on the township of Radovis. 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, Radovis became a business centre while the medieval town of Konce was a monastery and episcopal centre. As a settlement and a regional town parish, Radovis 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, Radovis found itself in the Serb medieval state. In 1361, the tsar Uroc sojourned in Radovis. 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.
