Skopje Aqueduct
Скопски аквадукт
The only surviving ancient aqueduct in North Macedonia, with 55 stone arches striding across the fields. It may date from the Roman or Ottoman period.
The aqueduct lies near the village of Visoka, about 3 kilometres northwest of the city centre. It stretches roughly 386 metres and has 55 surviving stone-and-brick arches. It once carried spring water from the mountains north of Skopje into the city. Its construction date is debated, with some sources attributing it to the Romans, others to the Byzantines, and others to the Ottomans in the 16th century. It stands amid open fields, which makes it ideal for photography, but facilities are basic. It is best reached by taxi, and it can be combined with Skopje Fortress in the same half-day.
