Abstract
Konçe area is particularly mentioned in the early Middle Ages. The beginnings of this place are remarkable with famous monastery complex, which at the same time represents religious and administrative seat of
Radovish area. The most famous monastery church in the village is St. Stephen, dated before 1366. The church and
The monastery was made by the Serbian Duke Nichola Stajnevik, which was a part of the Army of Dusan Emperor.
This church has a significant place in the medieval Macedonian history and culture. Furthermore, it's worth to mention that Konçe is a regional center of Radovish area. One of the valuable places in this region is the area called "Upper Tower" which is southeast of Konçe in the northwestern part of the mountain range Serta-Gradeshka mountain. This site present as narrow hill which has a height of about 120 meters above the valley of the locality
Lakavica127. The old caravan routes which are stretching from Stip along Lakavica region to Strumica are merged in
Konçe128. The Ottoman historical monuments in the numerous Ottoman, Austrian, British, Serbian and other sources are confirming that the place Konçe is an important trading caravan and market area in the Radovish region.
The Islamic architecture of this place is especially important with the tomb, which represents the tombstone or Mausoleum that is typically built for an honor of the great Ottoman rulers. The earliest historical sources said that the history of the tomb and its establishing in the Islamic tradition arose primarily through the Ottomans. It was particularly present in the Sufi orders and especially with the Muslim ascetics. Decisive influence in the form of appearance of the Turks tombs has made the oldest Turkish tribes, which have made cultural trappings of the mausoleum with Persian elements. The tombs as a tombstone are often built in Macedonia and according to the historical sources were buried important religious and military personalities. The tombs were usually found in the yards of mosques or lay around the settlements of a hill to be readily apparent. Unfortunately, we must mention that on the territory of Macedonia, there are a quite small number of preserved tombs from the main reason, because they are not recovered and kept properly. The famous Tombs in Macedonia are: Mustafa Pasha in Skopje, the mausoleum of
Yigit Bey the famous Ottoman conqueror and ruler of Skopje, Mustafa Pasha, the mausoleum of Asik Çelebi in Gazi Baba, mausoleum in the courtyard of the mosque Aladja Skopje, the tomb decorated with stone in Bitola, mosque tomb of Sinan Çelebi in Ohrid, a tomb in the courtyard of the Colorful Mosque in Tetovo, the mausoleum of Massey Bay near Strumica and many others129. Evrenos Bey represents a significant military-political person in the Ottoman Empire in the early Middle Ages of XIV century. The name of Evrenos Bey is mentioned in the important Ottoman and other European nations published and unpublished sources that analyzes the issues of expansion and fall of the Ottoman Empire.
