The biggest cross in the world overlooking a city with minarets, a bazaar with a distinct Turkish atmosphere: Skopje is a mixture of different culture with a history dating back thousands of years.
The history of Skopje is going back thousands of years, but the city is mostly interesting because of the many different cultures present. With only one day to spend in the city, we decided to concentrate on the old part of Skopje. Walking along the Vardar river that runs through the city, we crossed the landmark Stone Bridge, or Kamen Most - which is probably the best way to do so. This bridge might well symbolize Skopje: it was built in the 15th century, in the Ottoman era, and now links the modern Macedonia Square to the old city. The bridge was the scene of executions, it has survived earthquakes that caused great damage on the city, as well as destructive wars. But there it still is, in the middle of the city, proudly linking the two sides of Skopje across the Vardar river.
