Koritos/Korytos or Koryton ( Greek: Κορυτός/Κορυτόν; [1] Macedonian: Коритос / Коритон) was a medieval city-fortress on the road Skopje - Strumica away one day walk from Skopje, North Macedonia. The Arab geographer al-Idrisi mentions the city as Kurta. The city is mentioned only in two sources from the 12th and 13th centuries, and is identified with Ovče Pole's Ǵurište. [2] Some historians believe that this city was actually Kratovo, and that this is actually the name of the medieval city. [3]
