The theatre was built by the end of the III or at the beginning of the II century BC and had about 4.000 seats. The open Ohrid theatre has a perfect location: the two hills that surround it keep it protected from winds that could interfere with acoustics during performances.

After the Roman conquest, the theatre was readapted into an arena for gladiator fights and fights with wild beasts. However, since the theatre was also a site of executions of Christians by the Romans, it rapidly turned to a highly disliked site by the locals. In fact, as a result of this dislike, the theatre was abandoned and buried by the locals after the demise of the Roman Empire.

The material from its seats was used for construction of sacral and profane buildings. Fortunately, this allowed for most of the structure to be well preserved, only to be uncovered accidentally in the 1980's. After its complex uncovering and reconstruction, various performances are taking place again, after twenty centuries, on the open, reconstructed scene of the antique theatre.

The stone town is an area consisting of over 120 naturally formed stone pillars, located in the village of Kuklica, near Kratovo, which according to the scientists are more than 10 thousand years old.

Local population calls these blocks Dolls (Kukli- Macedonian for Dolls) because of their unusual shape that resembles a human figure.

According to one folk legend, the stone dolls are actually grooms and wedding guests. Wedding, grooms and guests are petrified by the curse of a girl from the village, who was in love with the groom. The girl has cursed all wedding, everyone to be petrified at the moment when the boy would kiss the bride.

Scientific studies have shown that stone dolls are actually volcanic rock, created by volcanic erosion. Unusual form of rocks, which is reminiscent of human figures, is the result of minerals. The town of Kratovo, near which is the village Kuklica lies on the extinguished volcano. According to the statements of local residents every 5-6 years a new doll appears in the valley.

Situated in the town of Mavrovo near a mountain, the Old St. Nicolas church was built in 1850 and served as a sacred site for about 100 years until the dam was built and the artificial lake, Lake Mavrovo, was created.

For many years, this church was partially submerged in the lake and droughts of recent years have allowed for access to the church by foot.

The Stone Bridge in Skopje is one of the most important monuments in the city.

The name “Stone Bridge” is coming from the material that was used for its construction, or crushed stone.

It is located in the city centre and connects the Macedonia Square and the Old Bazar. Under the bridge flows the river Vardar, which divides the city in two parts.

There are two theories about the construction of this beautiful arch bridge:

1.     The first one is according to the archaeological research saying that the bridge was built in the VI century, after the catastrophic earthquake from 518, in the period of emperor Justinian I.

2.     The second theory is according to the historical sources, saying that the bridge was built in the Othman period under the patronage of Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror between 1451-1460 (XV century).

Throughout the years, the bridge underwent many changes, which include additional changes by the Sultan Sulejman the Magnificent and the Serbian Tsar Dushan. In 1944, or in the Second World War, the Nazis placed explosives on the Stone Bridge, but with the liberation of the city, the detonations were prevented and the bridge was saved from destruction.

The modern changes and the additions have in mind to bring the bridge to its original state.

Today the bridge is a symbol of the City of Skopje and is a main element on the coat of arms of the city, which in turn is incorporated in the city’s flag in yellow-gold colour.
