Stone Bridge

Picture
The Stone Bridge rises magnificently over the river Vardar in the central part of Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. The bridge connects the old and the new part of the city, and is the primary element of the daily communication of its inhabitants and visitors. There is no visitor who visited Skopje and did not walk over it. The bridge connection the two part of Skopje not only physically, but also with time. All important events throughout history and all the events of today take place on it. This is the reason why the bridge deserves special treatment and care, because the loss of the bridge would mean the loss for an entire city. 
Various interpretations explain the history of the Stone Bridge. Some of them lead to the period of the second half of the 15th Century, during the time of the rule of sultan Mehmed II.
