Varnalii Complex

Another beautiful historical site in Macedonia you cannot pass is Varnalii Complex which belongs to the three families Paunov, Trencov, and Prnarov. The houses are built in a conventional Macedonian style and have three floors where many windows dominate the façade which is also decorated with flora and fauna originating from the surrounding area.

The House of Paunovs

It was built in 1868 in Varnaliite. The basis of the house is even, and it is developed on three different levels. The house is big, consists of a ground floor and two other floors. The balcony and the windows have a dominant position. The inside of the house is particularly impressive where the elements of the old traditional construction are predominant. To create an impression of the city's traditional architecture, the Municipality of Veles has reconstructed the house's façade.

The House of Trencovs

It was built at the same time as the house of Paunovs. Due to the specific terrain, the house stands on the street with a narrow façade, although it has a ground floor and two other floors. The ground floor and the first floor are made of stone. The architect’s solution for the second floor is especially impressive, in which dominates a room with seven windows with a view to the street. The façade of the house, whose interior is filled with traditionally crafted domestic objects, is completely rebuilt.

The House of Prnarovs

It was built in 1868 on three levels with a specific form of the basis. The ground floor's paved courtyard is an open space that is connected with the street. The central place of the architectural solution takes the balcony connecting all the rooms. On the second floor dominate the big windows and the protruding eaves which enter the roof, full of decorative elements of flora and fauna. The reconstructed façade of the house of Prnarovs features typical bays on the floors.
