A square anchored by the new white neoclassical VMRO building. Fans of the Skopje 2014 project will admire this building. It has a taller tower section attached to the south side. The center of the square contains a lion sculpture atop a white column within a white fountain.

Спомен Куќа на Мајка Тереза
Mother Teresa was born and lived in Skopje until she was 18. Her original house is no longer standing, but there is a tranquil modern chapel—architecturally remarkable in that it's a jumble of cubes, stone walls, and shiny mirrored glass, as if it's a real life interpretation of Escher's works, and, like everything built in Skopje in modern times, utterly kitschy—and interpretive museum centre on the site.
Црква „Св. Константин и Елена“
The original church was demolished in 1970 to make room for the City Shopping Center. A new church is under construction in a different area. It is not being built in its original, more simple appearance. Rather, it is being built in the Byzantine style with gold-capped domes.
Феудална Кула
A 14-m-high residential tower from the 17th century, this is the oldest building on this side of the Vardar in central Skopje. Built for defense with 1.5-m-thick walls, a high door, and small windows on the lower floors. Today it serves as a souvenir shop and you can enter and see it from the inside.
It's where Macedonia Street meets Macedonia Square. The monument depicts Tsar Samuel sitting on a throne holding a scepter. It stands 9 m (28 ft) high.
Warrior on a Horse
This grand fountain and statue may be the main symbol of the entire Skopje 2014 project. Placed in the centre of the square, it consists of a 10 m (33 ft) column atop which stands a 14.5 m (48 ft) tall bronze statue of Alexander on his horse. At the base are eight bronze soldiers and at the edges of the fountain pool are eight bronze lions.
