An unusual city-museum in the open air
The focus will be on the cultural mosaic of Skopje and the harmony that has been established between the Old Town, the Ottoman period, and the New Town, which has not lost Christian traditions. Also along the way, I will tell you how other periods of history affected the life of the state that was part of Ancient Macedonia, the Roman and Byzantine Empires.
You will visit the largest bazaar in the Balkans – Old Charshia. Walk through the Golden and other artisan streets. You will see where the construction of Skopje began. Look into the covered market "bezisten", visit the caravanserai, where there is a women's madrasah, as well as a hookah and beer bar. Hear the history of the kale fortress. And in the New Town I will introduce you to the project Skopje 2014 - an open-air museum, show the bridges of Civilization and Art and the medieval Stone Bridge - the visiting card of the Macedonian Capital.
In addition, on a walk you will find out where the house in which Mother Teresa was born actually was located.
