Кучковски манастир
Containing one church dedicated to Saint George, this monastery was established in 1346 with its construction. It fell into disrepair over its history, ultimately renovated in the 20th century. Monks lived here until 2014.
Хусеин Шах џамија
This 16th-century mosque was built by a prominent Ottoman figure. It was damaged multiple times in its history. The mosque has a main dome, a single minaret, and a porch. The courtyard contains numerous old graves.
Gradište, Археолошки парк Бразда, Градиште
This archaeological site dates from the 5th-4th centuries BC. Around this time, the area was inhabited by the Agrian tribe of Paeonians, however ceramic findings at the site indicate it may have been an Athenian settlement. The walls of the tombs also bear a decorative technique thought to be a mark of the Athenians. It is situated on a hill just south of the village. Until 2012, the site was rather neglected but then underwent a major cleanup.
Манастир Свети Никита
This medieval church was built around 1300 by Serbian King Milutin on the ruins of an older church. It is in a typical Byzantine style, made of stone and red brick. The frescoes inside the church date from around 1324, with the exception of those in the dome which date from the 19th century. The iconostasis was painted in 1847. Banjane is also home to the 16th-century Church of St George, significant for its frescoes.
Скопски аквадукт
Located within the village of Vizbegovo, this is the only aqueduct archaeological site in North Macedonia and one of three in the former Yugoslavia. Its date of construction is not known; it may have been built as early as Roman times or as late as early Ottoman rule. The stone and brick structure was used as an aqueduct until the 18th century. Today, 386 meters (1,266 feet) consisting of 55 arches remain. It is on the Serava River and, presumably, carried water from a spring in the Skopska Crna Gora to the city centre.
Светла Пештера
About an hour hike south of the village, this cave is considered an ice cave, which makes it unique in Macedonia. Particularly in winter, interesting ice formations can be seen. Its opening is about 0.7 m (2.3 ft) tall.
