Ottoman heritage tour of Skopje with Vasilka Dimitrovska, a professional archaeologist and professional tourist guide, director of HAEMUS and founder of HAEMUS Travel

Step into the enchanting world of the past as you explore the historic monuments that bear witness to Skopje’s Ottoman heritage. 🕰️ Immerse yourself in the captivating Sultan Murat mosque with its iconic clock tower, and let the Gazi Isa Bey Mosque take your breath away. 🕌 The Ishak Beg (Aladza) Mosque beckons with its timeless beauty, while the old part of town reveals hidden gems like Kurshumli Inn, Bezisten, Suli Inn, Chifte Hammam, Kapan Inn, Daut Pasha Hammam, the külliye of Skopje, and the Mustafa Pasha Mosque. To top it all off, don’t miss the Ottoman period of the Skopje Fortress, a true architectural marvel.

These awe-inspiring structures are not just remnants of the Ottoman Empire’s glory days (1392-1912/13), but also testaments to Skopje’s rich history. Despite enduring the ravages of time, including earthquakes, fires, and disasters, these monuments have been meticulously restored and rebuilt. Today, they stand proud as cultural treasures, breathing new life into the cultural tapestry of Macedonia. 🌍
