Abstract: The main topic in this paper is Evlija Çelebi's travelogues from the point of historical and sociological aspects, who lived and worked in the second half of XVII century. Evliya Çelebi's notes represent the
Macedonian cities during the second half of XVII century.
In his travels he thoroughly explains which year and from who were conquered Macedonian cities. Further, he explains that Macedonian cities were territorial and administratively divided.

Population, famous crafts of Macedonian population and other things.
The paper gave explanation on all we have mentioned above for the part of Macedonian cities such as: Stip, Samokov,
Demir Hisar, Ohrid and Kriva Palanka, which would be described with Evliya Çelebi's travelogues. This paper
Summarize the appeal of scientific engagement of numerous world's scientists in the field of historiography for full publication of his travels and notes of the famous Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi, which are unfortunately never fully published. This paper uses published and unpublished documents, defter and other authentic Ottoman
Archival material from Ottoman and Balkan sources.
Çelebi, as a significant person in the Ottoman Empire, had access to the sultan's orders to the caddies regarding counterfeit money offenses. One such order is from 05 February 1580 year addressed to the Cadets of
Skopje and Novo Brdo. In this order the sultan is acquainted with the Novobrdska fake workshop for akçes. This is the main reason for the sultan's order to the caddy to enter into the house of Suleiman and Redzep and to find all fake gold and silver akçes and to put them in a few bags and send it to him. Taken as a whole, the above mentioned facts, lead us to conclude that counterfeiting money in the Ottoman Empire was a major boom and this created a serious problem at the High Gate. Spreading false money doesn't become a serious social issue in the Ottoman Empire, but also caused great damage to Ottoman economy. Numerous attempts of the Ottoman authorities trough orders and sanction for spreading this phenomenon by orders and special decrees, had a small effect in practice, although the death penalty for this type of illegal acts has been applied in many cases.
The main hypothesis of this paper is: Whether the Macedonian cities, according to Evliya Çelebi's travelogues, abounded with numerous: churches, monasteries, bazaars, squares and other cultural heritage which made each Macedonian city unique in his style, appearance and spirit.
