Kamen Most (Stone Bridge)
Stone Bridge in Skopje is among the greatest monuments of its kind. It is a bridge across the river Vardar, which today connects the old and the new part of the Skopje city. The bridge was built in the second half of 15th century and form solid stone blocks, while its massive construction depends on firm pillars interconnected with 12 semicircular arches.
Crossing over the bridge, you don't just cross over to the opposite bank of the river Vardar. This bridge also combines the cultures rooted and blooming in a single place, in the same city of Skopje, thus the bridge depicts a corridor of civilization. These days, same as six centuries ago, people use the bridge to cross from the new city centre filled with coffee places to the Old Bazaar.
Stone Bridge is located in the central area of the city and is one of the main tourist attractions, it has been a symbol of Skopje for centuries and is the main feature of the coat of arms of the city, which in turn is merged in the city's flag.
