Skopje, the capital and the largest city with a mixed atmosphere of the Orient

discovering the Republic of Macedonia.
It is a place where many roads and civilizations have met and mingled. As Scupi,
it was an important place since the Roman and Byzantine empires, and some of its
ruins (after an earthquake in 518 AD) can still be seen in the NW suburbs. It
may have been rebuilt and named JUSTINIANA PRIMA in 535, as a birth-place of Eastern
Emperor Justinian I, and a seat of the province.
It was also a well-know trade centre during the long rule under the Ottoman Empire
(1392-1912).
