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.
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.
Порта Македонија
A triumphal arch built in 2011 to commemorate 20 years of Macedonian independence. The 21 m (69 ft) arch contains marble reliefs on its exterior depicting various scenes from Macedonian history. It has interior rooms as well as an elevator to the observation deck. Access to the deck is included in the ticket price at the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle.
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.
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.
