Fortress Kale

Located on the highest point of the city which is overlooking the Vardar River, Fortress Kale is one of the best places to visit in Skopje, offering a great view of the city and close to the sites of the city's Ottoman Old Bazaar.

It is believed that long time ago, during the Neolithic and Bronze ages or roughly 4000 BC, this area was inhabited. According to some studies, Kale was built in the 6th century A.D. with stone walls approximately 121 meters long and beautiful square stone towers. After the earthquake in 1963, the square towers were restored and protected from further damage.

Today, Kale represents a beautiful historic fortress and a perfect place to have relaxing time with family or friends. This beautiful historical site gives you an opportunity to enjoy observing the splendid beauty of Skopje and a chance to capture breath-taking views of Macedonia's capital.
