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.
Once across, you directly see what makes Skopje fascinating: on the right hand, you see Daud Pasha and Cifte Amam, former Turkish baths that have been turned into modern art galleries, while on the left you see late 19th century orthodox Sveti Dimitrija church. Continue to walk, and you will start cruising the old Turkish bazaar. From this point onwards, I felt more and more like I was walking in some Middle Eastern city. The sounds and smells, the way people dressed, and of course the minarets towering above the old city: I had not expected to come across this atmosphere in the capital of Macedonia. We visited the Sveti Spas church: a special one, as the Ottomans did not allow Christians to construct churches higher than the mosques in the city.
