Ottoman Skopje



Here are some shots of Ottoman Skopje - they were here for a long time, but many of the buildings were destroyed during the 1963 earthquake, so only a few remain. The Ottomans' had one design for a bridge and they built it everywhere (see same bridge design in photo from Sarajevo), but it was not a bad looking brdige. Also, there is a shot of the baths, two of the old caravanserais from about 1500, which has been turned into a restaurant (fittingly), and one of the little streets that make up the old part of town.
