Skopje, Macedonia

This postcard comes from Macedonia. It is a view of the city Skopje from Skopje Plaza. The stone bridge built across the River Vardar is a symbol of the city. Built between 1451 and 1469 during the Byzantine Empire's rule, this bridge has a long history. The Warrior on a horse statue is that of Alexander the Great. In the background, you can see the Skopje Fortress. It has been standing there since the 6th century!


Here is the stamp that was used on the back of the card.


Thank you Delinikolov for such a wonderful card!
