Skopje (native: Ñêîï¼å) is the capital
of the Republic of Macedonia with population of over half-million
people, covering an area of 1.818 sq. km. As largest
city in the country, it is a political, economic, and cultural
center of Macedonia.
The first impression of a visitor to Skopje is invariably the
same: it is a new, beautiful, and modern city. The city and
its vicinity have plenty of valuable cultural and historical
monuments which attract the attention of every visitor. The
Kale Fortress raised in the 6th century (its present appearance
dates from the Turkish period), the Daut-Pasha's Amam (public
bath, 15th c., now the Art Gallery), the Mustafa-pasha's mosque
(15th c.), the Clock Tower (16th c), and the Stone Bridge over
the Vardar river. |
