'''Struga''' ({{langx|mk|Струга}} {{IPA|mk|ˈstruɡa||Mk-Struga.ogg}}; {{langx|sq|Strugë}}, {{lang-sq-definite|Struga}}) is a [[town]] and popular tourist destination situated in the south-western region of [[North Macedonia]], lying on the shore of [[Lake Ohrid]]. The town of Struga is the seat of [[Struga Municipality]].

==Name==

The name Struga was first mentioned in the 11th century.<ref>Димитър Атанасов (2009) Македонска тетрадка, Изд-во "СМ", стр. 82, {{ISBN|9549229033}}.</ref> It is of Slavic origin.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ilin |first=Dušica |title=The golden garland of the Struga nights of poetry |year=1982 |pages=326 |quote=СТРУГА се наоѓа на западниот дел на Охридското Езеро, на 14 - иот километар од ОХРИДА. Што значи што Старото име на Струга е Енхалон, јагула. По доаrањето на Словените градот го добива името Струга, значи: корито на река STRUGA is located on the western part of Lake Ohrid, 14km from OHRID. Which means struga's old name is Enhalon, an eel. After the Slavs came, the city was named Struga, meaning: riverbed.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Институт за национална историја |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RxZXAAAAYAAJ |title=Гласник на Институтот за национална историја |year=1996 |volume=40 |pages=112}}</ref> and means a "river bed".<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Krek |first1=Simon |title=The Slovene Language in the Digital Age |last2=Uszkoreit |first2=Hans |year=2012 |pages=51}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Humar |first=Marjeta |title=Planinski terminološki slovar |year=2002 |pages=220}}</ref>
[[File:Struška čaršija 01.JPG|thumb|280px|Old boulevard of Struga.]]
The ancient name of the city is '''Enchalon''' (Εγχαλών), the ancient [[Greek language|Greek]] word for [[eel]], which may be related to the [[Illyrians|Illyrian]] [[Enchele]] tribe that was known to live in the region. According to E. Hamp, a connection with Albanian ’ngjalë’ makes it possible that the name Enchele was derived from the Illyrian term for eels, which may have been anciently related to Greek and simply adjusted to the Greek pronunciation. In [[Polybius]] the word 'Enchele' is written with a voiceless aspirate ''kh'', ''Enchelanes'', while in [[Mnaseas]] it was replaced with a voiced ''ng'', ''Engelanes'', the latter being a typical feature of the [[Ancient Macedonian language|Ancient Macedonian]] and northern [[Paleo-Balkan languages]].{{sfn|Šašel Kos|1993|p=119}}

==History==
In ancient times, the [[Lake Ohrid]] region, including Enchalon (ancient name of modern Struga) was inhabited by the [[Illyrians|Illyrian]] [[Enchele]] and [[Dassareti]] tribes.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dervishi |first1=Nebi |title=Etnokultura e Fushëgropës së Ohrit |date=2005 |publisher=Çabej |location=Tetovo |page=175 |access-date=24 October 2021|url=https://www.botimpex.com/index.php?p=liber&l=4042}}</ref>{{sfn|Wilkes|1992|pp=98–99}}{{sfn|Hammond|1982|p=265}}<ref name=Strabo>Strabo, Geography (ed.

Etymologist Qemal Murati believes that the name Strugë-a was first used as the name of a village; this name was used in a document of [[Tsar Dusan]] in the 14th century in the form of Struga. Later, in the 16th-17th centuries, the Codex of Slepçan, the name 'Strugi' was used.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dervishi |first1=Nebi |title=Etnokultura e Fushëgropës së Ohrit |date=2005 |publisher=Çabej |location=Tetovo |page=24 |access-date=24 October 2021|url=https://www.botimpex.com/index.php?p=liber&l=4042}}</ref>

In the 16th century the city was visited by the Venetian Ambassador Lorenzo Bernardo who described it as a city in Bulgaria which was more akin to a small village. He describes the town as an important destination for wheat shipments and a town with fertile plains and valleys, and he speaks highly of the local eel and trout.<ref>{{cite web |title=1591 Lorenzo Bernardo: Journey of the Venetian Ambassador |url=http://www.albanianhistory.net/texts16-18/AH1591.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130322124223/http://www.albanianhistory.net/texts16-18/AH1591.html |archive-date=2013-03-22  |website=www.albanianhistory.net/texts16-18/AH1591.html |access-date=4 September 2022 |quote=We had excellent eel and trout from Lake Ohrid, which, we were told, also produced carp. In Struga we found good wine and a caravanserai for the horses. Although they call Struga a town, it is more like a village and is the first settlement in Bulgaria after leaving Albania. Through it flows a small river (13) which is said to arise in Lake Ohrid and to be the source of the river of Lezha. One crosses a bridge separating the border between Albania and Bulgaria shortly before one enters the plain of Struga, which is almost totally cultivated and which is very fertile. The Bulgarians speak Slavic and are of Greek rite. Storks make their nests on the roofs of their houses. All the people respect the birds and believe that they bring good luck to those on whose houses their nests are built.}}</ref>

Struga was visited by [[Henry Fanshawe Tozer]] in his travels in the Ottoman Empire, who spoke highly of the region and the [[Ohrid Lake]] which he compared to Italian lakes and to Biblical sites such as the Sea of Galilee, he considered Struga to be a head-quarters of fishery in European Turkey and that the fishery in Struga was property of the Ottoman Sultan who sublet it to locals for a large sum, he spoke highly of the endemic [[Ohrid trout]]. According to him the marshes in the region were turned into a habitable region by [[tzar]] [[Samuel of Bulgaria]] at the time when he made the city of [[Ohrid]] Bulgarian capital. He visited a large local [[Bulgarian Exarchate|Bulgarian school]] and mentioned the admiration that the Byzantine princess [[Anna Komnene|Anna Comnena]] had for the hundred of channels, embankments and watercourses in the city.<ref>{{cite web |title=1865 Henry Fanshawe Tozer: Researches in the Highlands of Turkey |url=http://www.albanianhistory.net/1865_Tozer/index.html |website=www.albanianhistory.net |access-date=4 September 2022}}</ref>

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Struga was part of the [[Manastir Vilayet]] of the [[Ottoman Empire]].

Struga is the home-city of the [[Miladinov brothers]] poets who played a crucial part in the [[Bulgarian National Revival|Bulgarian national revival]] and in whose honor the [[Struga Poetry Evenings]] are held in the city.<ref>{{cite web |title=STRUGA POETRY EVENINGS |url=http://svp.org.mk/en/history.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010306005644/http://svp.org.mk/en/history.html |archive-date=2001-03-06  |website=svp.org.mk |access-date=4 September 2022 |quote=In 1961, on the occasion of the centennial of the publication of the Collection of Folk Songs compiled by the Miladinov brothers, a literary reading was held in Struga on July 15th by a group of Macedonian authors. It was then that the idea was born: a poetry festival. At one of its meetings, the National Board of the Struga district appointed the first festival council consisting of seven members. Its first president was Aco Shopov.}}</ref> Struga was also the birthplace for a number of [[IMARO]] revolutionaries such as [[Hristo Matov]].

Struga was the birthplace in 1865 [[Ibrahim Temo]], who would go on to be a doctor and one of the founders of the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] reform movement known as the [[Committee of Union and Progress]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=İbrahim Temo'nun İttihad ve Terakki Anıları|last=Temo|first=İbrahim|publisher=Arba|year=1987|location=İstanbul|pages=5}}</ref>

Struga was part of the [[Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia]] since 1945 as part of the [[Socialist Republic of Macedonia]] until the [[1991 Macedonian independence referendum]] when Macedonia peacefully seceded from the federation.

==Geography==
Struga is located in an open valley on Lake Ohrid. The [[Black Drin]] river (Crn Drim) starts at the lake and divides the city.

==Demographics==
During the 16th century, Struga was located in the Sanjak of Ohrid of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. It was registered as a Christian village in the Nahiya of Ohrid with 184 Christian families, 20 unmarried men and 36 widows, as well as 8 Muslim families.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dervishi |first1=Nebi |title=Etnokultura e Fushëgropës së Ohrit |date=2005 |publisher=Çabej |location=Tetovo |page=113 |access-date=24 October 2021|url=https://www.botimpex.com/index.php?p=liber&l=4042}}</ref>

In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, Struga was inhabited by 4,570 people, consisting of 3,000 Christian Bulgarians, 1,000 Turks, 350 Muslim Albanians and 220 Romanis.<ref>Vasil Kanchov (1900). ''[http://www.promacedonia.org/vk/vk_2_39.htm Macedonia: Ethnography and Statistics]''. Sofia. p. 252.</ref> The Bulgarian researcher [[Vasil Kanchov]] wrote in 1900 that many Albanians declared themselves as Turks. In Struga, the population that declared itself Turkish "was of Albanian blood", but it "had been Turkified after the Ottoman invasion, including Skanderbeg", referring to Islamization. Jordan Ivanov, professor at the University of Sofia, wrote in 1915 that Albanians, since they did not have their own alphabet, due to a lack of consolidated national consciousness and influenced by foreign propaganda, declared themselves as Turks, Greeks and Bulgarians, depending on which religion they belonged to. Albanians were losing their mother tongue in Struga.<ref>Salajdin SALIHI. "DISA SHËNIME PËR SHQIPTARËT ORTODOKSË TË REKËS SË EPËRME". FILOLOGJIA - International Journal of Human Sciences 19:85-90.</ref>

According to the 1943 [[Italian protectorate of Albania (1939–1943)|Albanian]] census, Struga was inhabited by 2,876 Orthodox [[Macedonians (ethnic group)|Macedonians]], 2,063 Muslim [[Albanians in North Macedonia|Albanians]], 443 [[Aromanians in North Macedonia|Aromanians]], 14 [[Serbs]] and 10 [[Russians]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pop-stat.mashke.org/alb-historic/1943-struga-ethnicrel-loc.htm|title=Ethnic/religious composition of Struga district|website=pop-stat.mashke.org|accessdate=22 May 2023}}</ref>

As of the 2002 census, the city of Struga has 16,559 inhabitants and the ethnic composition was the following:<ref name="Statistical Office">[http://www.stat.gov.mk/Publikacii/knigaX.pdf Macedonian census, language and religion Censuses of population 1948 - 2002]</ref>

*Macedonians, 8,901 (53.7%)
*Albanians, 5,293 (32.0%)
*Turks, 907 (5.5%)
*Vlachs, 550 (3.3%)
*others, 908 (5.5%)

The mother tongues of the city's residents were the following:
*Macedonian, 9,665 (58.4%)
*Albanian, 5,615 (34.0%)
*Turkish, 823 (5.0%)
*Aromanian, 271 (1.6%)
*others, 185 (1.1%)

The [[Gheg Albanian|Gheg]] and [[Tosk Albanian|Tosk]] dialects of Albanian are both spoken by the Albanians in Struga, and speakers are divided in the settlement by the [[Black Drin]]. The Albanian dialects in Struga are somewhere between Central Gheg and Northern Tosk, and they do not have many distinguishing features between them. The differences between them lie mainly in phonetics and morphology, with very few differences in terms of lexicology. Also, the Tosk spoken language and the town one - which is a transitive spoken language - do not have many differences from today's contemporary language.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Qamili |first1=Ajten |title=Tosk and Geg in the Spoken Albanian of Struga |journal=Folia linguistica et litteraria |date=2011 |volume=3/4 |pages=109–117 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marijana-Jelec/publication/328675918_Die_Funktion_der_Erzahlperspektiven_in_Uwe_Tellkamps_Roman_Der_Eisvogel/links/5ca39c22458515f7851fc349/Die-Funktion-der-Erzaehlperspektiven-in-Uwe-Tellkamps-Roman-Der-Eisvogel.pdf#page=109}}</ref>

Much of the town's income is through internal tourism. Struga's location on [[Lake Ohrid]] makes it a slightly quieter and more peaceful experience than the more bustling [[Ohrid]].

When visiting this quiet town of [[North Macedonia]], there are a few other places that show the beauty and culture, like the clay chamber pots at the house of the Miladinovci Brothers, {{Who|date=October 2013}} the old bazaar, the century-old churches and mosques.

Before the evenings you can enjoy on 3 kinds of beaches called "Male beach" (maška plaža), "Female beach" (Ženska plaža) and [[Seagull|Galeb]] ("Gull Beach"), located just before the estuary of the river [[Crn Drim]] (Black Drim) in its own flow, and between the two previous beaches.

Just in front of the "Male beach", at the estuary of the river [[Crn Drim]] it is located the biggest 5 star Hotel Drim in Struga.

Out of the town there is another tourist place near the lake called Biser (Pearl), also a hotel.

Every August the [[Struga Poetry Evenings]] (SPE) are held at the "Poetry Bridge" ({{langx|mk| Струшки Вечери на Поезијата}}) and are attended by poets, writers and artists from across the world. {{citation needed|date=October 2013}}
