Car Rental in Skopje

Another construction that displays the rich history of Skopje is the Skopje Aqueduct (Akvaduktot vo Skopje). Historians are yet to ascertain at what time it was built. There are some options though: the Roman era, the Byzantine period of Justinian I, or during the rule of the Ottoman Empire. This is the only aqueduct of Macedonia and one of the best-preserved structures of this kind in the Balkan Peninsula. You will be amazed to learn that it was functional until the 18th century. In addition to the Church of the Holy Savior (Crkva na Voznesenieto na Isus), the city also houses places of worship of other denominations in the city. Some such places are for example, are among mosques, Mustafa Pasha Mosque (Mustafa Paša Džamija) and Mosque Iskhak-Bek (Mosque Iskhak-Bek), and among Catholic places of worship, Catholic Cathedral of Skopje (Katoličkata Katedrala vo Skopje). There is also a synagogue here.

A historically important place is the Skopje Fortress Kale (Skopska Tvrdina Kale), which, as befits fortifications, is located on a hill. The first mention of the fact that there was once a castle on this place dates back to the end of the 10th century. Nevertheless, there are suggestions that it was built during the reign of Justinian I. At the end of the 11th century, the Vikings took possession of the building for some time and several finds on the territory of the building are evidence of this. Stefan Dusan during his reign made the fortress the most important strategic point, densely building up the territory of the hill. After the conquest of the city by the Turks, barracks were located here. However, the gates of the fortress were later rebuilt. At the beginning of the 20th century, barracks, headquarters, and warehouse of the Yugoslav army were located here.
