This archaeological site is best-known as the birthplace of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in 483, though King Theodahad of the Ostrogoths was also born here in 480. The ruins today mostly consist of building foundations and short walls. The present-day village of Taor takes its name from the ancient city.

Црква „Св. Георги Победоносец“
This church found in thick forest northeast of Blace is rather simple on the exterior but it is considered significant for its frescoes and icons inside. Built in the 16th or 17th century, it was constructed on the remains of an older church. There may be some connection between this church and the nearby Baderiana archaeological site.
Црква „Св. Ѓорѓи“
This medieval church dates from the 13th or 14th centuries, built of stone. Its age is very apparent and the building could use some renovation. The interior frescoes are somewhat faded. It likely once had cupolas prior to the Ottoman-era. Surrounding the church are very old graves.
21.10-hectare area. The relief of the mountain massifs in the hunting area is characterized with heterogeneousness and significant differences in altitude of 2240 m, which enables zonal distribution of the game.
Катлановска Бања
One of Macedonia's most popular bath centers. Located above Katlanovo on the Pčinja River, the healing waters have been used since Roman times. A hotel was first placed at the site in 1934 and is now visited by 10,000 guests annually.
Црква „Св. Спас“
The most significant church from this part of Skopje was built in 1849 and its frescoes were painted by Dičo Zograf in 1857. The nice courtyard contains a bell tower. Dračevo is a large village (now more of an urban neighborhood) with its own fully developed socio-economic life.
