Resen is a picturesque town in southwest North Macedonia with just under 9,000 inhabitants. The town of Resen is situated near Lake Prespa and rises 880m above sea level making the climate mild and pleasant. The city's history dates back to Roman times when it was on the famous Via Egnatia road. It has been part of the Ottoman Empire, the Second Bulgarian Empire, the Serbian Empire and more throughout its long and colorful history.
