Strumica's central square lies above Maršal Tito Boulevard, just west of Leninova Boulevard. It was built in 1970, and was completely redesigned in 2010. The mostly concrete square now contains fountains, a modern clock tower, and shrubbery. Its centrepiece remains a large statue of revolutionary Goce Delčev, erected in 1973. Among the other monuments is the statue Strumica Under the Mask, commemorating the historic Strumica Carnival. The Anton Panov National Theatre fronts the square.
Goce Delčev Square is the main public square in the city of Strumica, situated in the southeastern part of North Macedonia. It is one of the biggest city squares in the country with a total area of 23,485 square metres. It is named after the revolutionary Goce Delčev, who has a monument on the square, built in the 1970s. The square was reconstructed in 2010 and is split on two floors. The first level is an underground road junction with a parking lot, while the second floor is an open pedestrian space filled with statues, buildings and decorative equipment. Before the reconstruction, the square had only a small area focused on Delčev's monument. The Strumičanka pod maska statue is also located in the town square.

This historic building is also in the neoclassical style. Built in the 1920s, it functioned at Strumica's first brothel. For the next couple decades it remained a place frequented by the elite. During communism, the building was nationalised and served different purposes before falling into neglect after the 1980s. ProCredit Bank bought and renovated the building in 2010.

Орта џамија
This building was built as a church during the Byzatine period, presumably in the 11th or 12th centuries. Some remnants of frescoes can be found in the foundations of the structure. Following the arrival of the Ottomans, the church was converted to a mosque. The square-based mosque has one minaret. Within the complex of the mosque are archaeological excavations. While it was in use by the city museum, the building has been closed for years because of fears that it can be damaged. Thus, it can only be viewed by visitors today from the outside.
