Coordinates : 41.089608, 21.734152

The village of Staravina is located in the Municipality of Novaci, 50 km from the town of Bitola. During the First World War, the Macedonian Front line crossed the village, and today we find vestiges and traces. At the entrance to the village there is an ossuary containing the remains of Serbian soldiers, called "Gorna Crkva". However, because of the villagers' opposition, the ossuary was never finished and is now abandoned at the village entrance.

In the centre of the village there are some trenches from the war. Here, and in the remains of villages in the Mariovo region, we find objects of war, used by locals in their homes.
