Спомен костурница
This structure stands above the east of the city as a memorial to Kavadarci's victims of fascism in World War II. This ossuary monument contains the remains of several of these victims and contains a granite slab with over 300 victims' names inscribed. Built of concrete in a shape to resemble a traditional Macedonian house, it officially opened in 1976. It stands 12 m (39 ft) tall and offers a scenic view of Kavadarci and the surrounding geography.
Маркова Кула
In the center of Kavadarci, this defensive tower was likely built in the 18th century. It stands 60 ft high and has five stories with walls one meter thick.
Спомен-куќа на Страшо Пинџур
Strašo Pindžur was born in Vataša in 1915 in this house. He was a communist partisan and is considered a national hero in North Macedonia. The house has served as a museum on the life of Pindžur since 1956. It was renovated in 2014.
Моклишки манастир
South of the village in the area of a historical settlement known as Moklište, this monastery contains one church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The church and monastery date back to the late 16th century. The church was built of stone and its frescoes date to its construction in 1594. The iconostasis was done in the 19th century. The monastery has not had full-time monks since 1945.
Полошки Манастир
The most significant church in the Tikveš area is within Pološki Monastery. Located on the slopes of Višešnica Mountain, the monastery became accessible only by boat following the creation of Lake Tikveš in 1968. The monastery contains one church, dedicated to Saint George, as well as living quarters and graves. The church was built by 1340 and is entirely frescoed on the interior, with the oldest dating from the period of its construction. The long, narrow church was built of stone and features one dome.
Црква „Св. Лазар“
About 5 km (3 mi) southwest of Begnište, and 30 m (99 ft) above Lake Tikveš, is this 14th-century cave church. With the damming of the lake, it is only accessible via a dirt road or via boat. Much of the church is in disrepair.
Бошавски манастир
This monastery was established in 1839 when its main (and only) church and living quarters were built. The church is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. The frescoes were painted in 1880 by artists from Kruševo. Gorna and Dolna (upper and lower) Bošava are two historic villages with traditional architecture.
Црква „Успение на Пресвета Богородица“
This 18th-century church is single-aisled with a long side porch. Its interior is entirely frescoed. The church is, however, in relatively rough shape.
Црква „Св. Архангел Михаил“
This church was built from 1837 to 1840 of mostly stone. Its frescoes were painted in 1881 and its most distinctive feature is its large covered porch.
