The large memorial is built in the shape of a flower, symbolizing a German World War II helmet, broken in four pieces - a symbol of the defeat of fascism. Built in 1979, it is situated at an elevation above the northeastern side of town. The remains of many fallen soldiers from the Veles area are found here. Large mosaics can be found painted on the walls of the memorial. There is also a museum about the history of Veles during this period.

Народен музеј
In the center of Veles in a neoclassical building is the National Museum which serves as a focal point of the city's culture and history. Opened in 1946, the museum exhibits pieces related to archaeology, ethnology, art, and history. The museum also maintains sites around the city including memorial houses of famous natives including Jordan Hadži-Konstantinov Džinot, Kočo Racin, and Vasil Glavinov.
Саат кула
The defining feature of the city skyline and one of the country's finest remaining historic clock towers. It was built in the first half of the 18th century as a watchtower for Ottomans. Towards the end of the 18th century, the tower was converted into a city clock. It is on the left bank of the Vardar, on 8th of September Street.
Театар „Јордан Хаџи-Константинов Џинот“
The main theatre of Veles is named after one of its most prominent natives, Jordan Hadži-Konstantinov Džinot who was an author and teacher during much of the 19th century.
Спомен куќа на Кочо Рацин
Kočo Racin was an author and partisan who is considered a founder of modern Macedonian literature. He was born to a poor family in Veles in 1908 and he died at just 34 years of age in what is believed by some to have been a murder and by others an accident. Established in 1962, this memorial house showcases the life and work of Racin. The building itself was constructed in the traditional style and it is maintained by the National Museum of Veles. Several monuments depicting Racin can be seen across Veles.
Црква „Успение на Пресвета Богородица“; Vlach Church
Built in a neighborhood on the east side of Veles that was once considered the Vlach (Aromanian) district, this church has been one of the city's most prominent since its construction from 1882 to 1905. It has interesting details on the exterior and interior. The church was considered the main church of Veles until the completion of Saints Cyril and Methodius, though it remains a popular church for weddings.
Црква „Св. Кирил и Методиј“
Veles's new large cathedral was built from 2006 to 2017. It sits in a park with a large fountain and has a detached bell tower.
