Stone bridge looks beautiful at night as well.
AFAIK, It`s been done by famous Turkish architect of 15-16th century, Mimar Sinan. He was known worldwide and he worked with Michelangelo for common architecture projects in Italy and he drew plans of several renaissance buildings.
Most probably he constructed many more buildings in Macedonia but i don't know if they are still intact today.Last edited by Onur; 06-18-2010, 09:38 AM.Comment

Skopje is one of the ugliest Cities in Europe sadly that is the hard truthComment

Frank, It will get better no doubt
Onur, The Municipality of Istanbul donated over a million euros to help renovate the stone bridge, the best thing the Ottoman Turks did during the occupation was the stone bridge aswell as the Skopska Charshija.МАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА.

What was Skopje like before the earthquake? I've seen images here and there but how did it compare to other cities across Europe at the time?Comment

Thanks for that BigMak, it certainly looks a lot more authentic and unique. I quite like the old style architecture. It's a shame such a disaster stripped vast amounts of Skopje's beauty and authenticity. Lets just hope it becomes a respectable and pleasant city in the future. The Skopje 2014 project seems to be taking a step in the right direction.Comment

2 out of the 4 new statues installed yesterday:
G. Pulevski
D. Chupovski

They look like good statues, and certainly figures of significance for the Macedonians. But are both of those also located in Skopje? Shouldn't Pulevski's statue be located closer to where he was originally from, in Mijak territory?In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.Comment
