Gari, Macedonia
Gari is a small village in the western mountains of Macedonia within the municipality of Debar. It was originally inhabited by Miyak people, a minority group in the country. The village was first noted in documents from the 15th century. The master wood-carver Petar Filopović (Filopovski) and his brother Marko lived in the village but traveled to create some of the finest iconostases in Macedonia during the early 19th century. The village is reputed to have some of the best examples of traditional Miyak dwelling structures.
