[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

@ 2006-03-10 16:22:28
From www.macedonia.co.uk:

The old aqueduct, built of brick and stone, is located at the end of the Skopje-Kacanik highway and is a monument from the 6th century AD. It supplied the city of Skupi with water from Mount Skopska Crna Gora. Some archaeologists assume that it had 200 arches, 50 of which still remain.

Also, from www.culture.org.mk:

The ancient aqueduct is located on the periphery of Skopje. It was built out of stone and bricks, with massive columns over which there are exactly 55 arcs.

There are different presumptions about the time of its construction. Some people claim that it is a Roman building and others that it comes from the Byzantine period. It is most likely that the aqueduct dates from the Turkish period, more precisely from the 16th century AD. The water was provided for the system from the mountain Skopska Crna Gora.]]>

Kamen Most (Stone Bridge)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2006-03-10 13:16:52
From www.gomacedonia.com:

According to certain data the bridge was built in the VI-th century, whereas in its present form it was raised upon the old foundation in the time of the Sultan Murat II in the first half of the XV century. It was built of well worked out stone blocks and has 12 semicircular arches. This monumental building has undergone larger repairs through the centuries, but today the bridge has still kept the primary shape and form.

As a result of the lack of more reliable sources and historical documents, two theories have evolved around the question when exactly the famous Stone Bridge on the Vardar was built and how old it is.

Some claim that it was erected during the Romaoian rule, in the middle of the 6th century, immediately after the disastrous earthquake of 518 when the ancient city of Skupi was destroyed. Much more likely, however, is the second theory, according to which the Bridge was built in the second half of the 15th century (between 1451-1469) under the patronage of sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror.

In historical sources, the Bridge was first mentioned in a document of the Isa-Bey Alaja (Colourful) Mosque in 874 (hijra), i.e. in 1469; the actual builders remain unknown. In its original shape, the Bridge had 13 arcs and was 329 steps long (or 213.85m.; one step is 65m.). Its total width was 6.33m. This is the Bridge seen and described by Jacobo Soronze, a Venetian who, on his way to Constantinople in 1575, stayed in Skopje.

Throughout the centuries, the Bridge was often damaged and repaired. There is historical evidence that it once suffered during the great earthquake of 1555 which heavily damaged or destroyed four pillars.

In 1944, explosives were placed on the Bridge by the fascists. But when the city was liberated the activation of the explosives was prevented and the Bridge was saved from a dreadful destruction.

The history of the Bridge is closely related to many incidents during the life of the Macedonian people under Turkish rule. In most cases, capital punishment was executed on the Bridge, which was then "decorated" with the heads of those who were executed. The body of a Macedonian revolutionary, Hristijan Todorovski - Karpos, after having been displayed on the Bridge for a while, was cut into pieces and thrown into the Vardar. In 1944, a large group of innocent Macedonian citizens were murdered on the Bridge by the German fascists before their withdrawal from Skopje.]]>

From www.gomacedonia.com:

According to certain data the bridge was built in the VI-th century, whereas in its present form it was raised upon the old foundation in the time of the Sultan Murat II in the first half of the XV century. It was built of well worked out stone blocks and has 12 semicircular arches. This monumental building has undergone larger repairs through the centuries, but today the bridge has still kept the primary shape and form.

As a result of the lack of more reliable sources and historical documents, two theories have evolved around the question when exactly the famous Stone Bridge on the Vardar was built and how old it is.

Some claim that it was erected during the Romaoian rule, in the middle of the 6th century, immediately after the disastrous earthquake of 518 when the ancient city of Skupi was destroyed. Much more likely, however, is the second theory, according to which the Bridge was built in the second half of the 15th century (between 1451-1469) under the patronage of sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror.

In historical sources, the Bridge was first mentioned in a document of the Isa-Bey Alaja (Colourful) Mosque in 874 (hijra), i.e. in 1469; the actual builders remain unknown. In its original shape, the Bridge had 13 arcs and was 329 steps long (or 213.85m.; one step is 65m.). Its total width was 6.33m. This is the Bridge seen and described by Jacobo Soronze, a Venetian who, on his way to Constantinople in 1575, stayed in Skopje.

Throughout the centuries, the Bridge was often damaged and repaired. There is historical evidence that it once suffered during the great earthquake of 1555 which heavily damaged or destroyed four pillars.

In 1944, explosives were placed on the Bridge by the fascists. But when the city was liberated the activation of the explosives was prevented and the Bridge was saved from a dreadful destruction.

The history of the Bridge is closely related to many incidents during the life of the Macedonian people under Turkish rule. In most cases, capital punishment was executed on the Bridge, which was then "decorated" with the heads of those who were executed. The body of a Macedonian revolutionary, Hristijan Todorovski - Karpos, after having been displayed on the Bridge for a while, was cut into pieces and thrown into the Vardar. In 1944, a large group of innocent Macedonian citizens were murdered on the Bridge by the German fascists before their withdrawal from Skopje.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/kamen-most-stone-bridge/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/kamen-most-stone-bridge/ Fri, 10 Mar 2006 13:16:52 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/kamen-most-stone-bridge/ 41.99694400 21.43298000

From www.mng.com.mk:

The Macedonian National Gallery is housed in the Daut Pasha Amam (Bath) - an historic monument to the culture of Islam and a fine example of Islamic profane architecture. The construction of the Amam was ordered by Daut Pasha in the second half of the 15th century. The building was originally divided into sections for men and women and possesses a total surface area of 900 square meters. In 1948 the Amam was restored and adapted to its new function as an art gallery.



New reconstruction of the interior were carried out in 1982 and 1999. The first Gallery's permanent collection in 1951 consisted of examples of Macedonian icons (XIV - XIX century), copies of ancient frescoes and models of Macedonian medieval churches, as well as art works of the first generation of Macedonian contemporary artists before WW II and art works from artists from former Yugoslavia. Today's Permanent Collection was created in 2001 as a unique display of the development of the Macedonian fine art from the XIV to XX century.

The National Art Gallery has performed a very significant role and historic role, especially during the early post war years, as the only institution of its kind in Macedonia for the presentation and affirmation of Macedonian fine art. Apart from the regular display of different parts of the collection, the Gallery also presents exhibitions of domestic and foreign works of fine art. The Gallery's international standing has been enhanced through cooperation with important world centers such as Vienna, Venice, Berlin, Istanbul, Dresden, Nuremberg, etc.]]>
