The central square of Kumanovo features many interesting and historical buildings. It is anchored by the Craftman's Hall, built in the early 20th century as the home of the Manufacturers Association of Kumanovo. Previously a cinema, it now houses a portion of the state archives among other local functions. Just in front of the building is a statue of Batko Gjorgjija (Brother George), the town's mythical person admired as the biggest drunk and ladies-man. Across the street are administrative municipal buildings that are called "Kasapski Krug". The town square also features a fountain with a monument called "Tumba 4 Bandere" that was the symbol of the city center. On the smaller square are several monuments from the antifascist war as well as a monument dedicated to Tito (Yugoslavia's lifelong President).

Црква „Св. Никола“
This large, white church is surrounded by arcades and has a rich interior with galleries, frescoes, and furniture. According to an inscription on the south entrance, it was built in 1851 on the same site as a prior church (with the same patron saint) in the Varoš neighborhood. Designed by noted church architect Andrej Damjanov, it is the main church of the city of Kumanovo.
Црква „Св. Троица“
This 1902-built church was established by the population belonging to the Serbian church as they were not admitted to St Nicholas which was controlled by the Bulgarian Exarchate. Today, both of these churches are Macedonian Orthodox. The blueprints of the church were done by a Russian architect. The iconostasis was completed with funds donated by Queen Draga of Serbia.
