The central pedestrian square of the city, surrounded by Communist-era architecture. There are fountains and several monuments. On the western side is the former House of the Party (now facilities of the two city universities); on the north side are the regional theatre and the Municipality building; on the south side is one of the city parks and the Regional Administration building; to the east the square transitions into a network of small pedestrian streets with many businesses. Along them to the north-east is the smaller Macedonia Sqr.

Exhibits range from prehistory and Antiquity to the bloody "Macedonian struggles" of the early 20th century, as well as the obligatory ethnographic collection of 19th century peasant costumes and folk crafts. There's also a natural history collection with minerals and bird taxidermy.
