164 km (102 mi) east of Skopje, at the foot of Mount Golak, spread on both banks of the river Bregalnica lies the town of Delčevo.

Despite being located in the easternmost part of the country, Delčevo has a relatively good geographical position and traffic connection.

To the west is Vinica (39 km/24 mi), and to the east is the border crossing with Bulgaria, called "Arnautski Grob" (Arnaut's grave) (11 km/7 mi), through which you can reach the capital of Pirin Macedonia – Gorna Dzumaja (Blagoevgrad) (34 km/21 mi) All rural settlements and the recreation center Golak are connected to the city by asphalt roads of regional and local type, while a modern national road is built to the border crossing.

Delčevo, according to a legend in Byzantine times was called Vasilevo, which translated from Greek means Tsarevo Selo.

For the first time as a settlement Carevo Selo is mentioned in a charter of Tsar Dushan from 1347 to 1350. with it he gave several places and fields from Pijanec to the Lesnovo Monastery.

Until the 17th century, the settlement laid on the right side of the river Bregalnica on the present toponym Selishte, more precisely under the hill Ostrec near the road leading to Bulgaria.

Due to the oppression and pressure, many Macedonian settlements were deserted, including the then Tsarevo Selo.

It is assumed that at the time of that sultan the settlement was moved to its present place on the left side of the river Bregalnica.

However, it is thought-provoking that the Turkish travel writer Evliya Çelebi spent here only a few years later in 1670 and wrote in his Travelogue: "From Vinica we climbed the Kocani mountain ore, moving through the gorge and after four hours we reached Tsarevo Selo.

This is a Muslim village at the foot of a mountain and is decorated with about 100 houses and a magnificent mosque mined by a minaret."

We should also mention the folk tradition that says that the settlement under the Ostrec hill was deserted when the plague reigned and the surviving population settled on the place where Delčevo is today.

Towards the middle of the 19th century, the bazaar began to develop and the settlement to grow, and at the same time the Christian population to increase.

After the end of the war, the famous Bulgarian voivode Ilija Markov (Grandfather Iljo Maleshevski) created the little-known Pijanec Republic, and after its destruction, the Bulgarian Exarchist population, fearing for their safety, fled the region seeking refuge on the territory of newly created Bulgaria.

After the liberation, on 23 April 1950, the Presidium of the National Assembly of the People's Republic of Macedonia decided that Tsarevo Selo should be renamed Delčevo, in honor of Goce Delčev.

Today Delčevo is a modern city settlement with wide asphalt streets and boulevards, sewerage network and parks and greenery.

The average annual rainfall in Delčevo is 548 mm (22 in), and in the mountains over 1.600 meters (5,250 ft) above sea level.

This favorable climate allows the growth of various plants, and is also a very suitable natural condition for the development of tourism in this area.

The mortality rate in the municipality in 1998 was 9,9 deaths per 1.000 inhabitants and is slightly higher than the average in the Republic of Macedonia which was 8,4.

The educational process in the municipality of Delčevo is given great importance, but unfortunately in the past it had an assimilative role.

Churches and monasteries built in the middle of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century are landmarks for Delčevo and the surrounding areas.

Next to the city, to the left of the road Delčevo – Golak, on the foundations of the old monastery is built a new one, dedicated to St. Bogorodica (St.

The construction of a new Cathedral church in the center of the city is underway, which will be named after the all-Slavic educators, the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius.

The abundance of wool, hemp and cotton in the past provided favorable opportunities for the development of textile creativity in which the skill, ingenuity and spirit of living of a woman as a folk artist are woven.

The basic element of the women's costume is the long-sleeved cotton shirt on which they wore woolen clothes "saya" and "anteria" long below the knees, with and without sleeves, opened in advance along the entire length, decorated with braids and belts.
