Porta Macedonia
Порта Македонија
A white triumphal arch on the south side of Macedonia Square, its exterior reliefs telling the story of Macedonian history. Inside are a gift shop and an observation platform.
Porta Macedonia was completed in 2012. It stands about 21 metres tall in the style of a classical triumphal arch, and its facade reliefs depict scenes from Macedonian history, from ancient times to independence. It is one of the flagship works of the 'Skopje 2014' project. Inside is a souvenir shop, and visitors can climb up to look over the square, depending on opening times. It stands between Macedonia Square and the Mother Teresa Memorial House, so it is an easy photo stop on your way past.
