City of Skopje

The Vardar River defines much of the City of Skopje - its broad valley has long concentrated North Macedonia’s government, commerce, transport and urban life. The capital extends between Mount Vodno to the south and the Skopska Crna Gora range to the north, giving its dense centre a distinctly basin-like setting. The Stone Bridge links the modern central districts with the Ottoman-era Old Bazaar, while Skopje Fortress stands above the older quarter. Rebuilt and reshaped after the devastating 1963 earthquake, Skopje combines layers of Balkan, Ottoman and modern civic architecture.
