A bold tribute to the City of Warriors and Ancient Macedonian Crossroads where Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, occupies a site of continuous human settlement for over 7,000 years at the crossroads of the Balkan Peninsula where the Vardar River cuts through the mountains between the Adriatic and the Black Sea, where the old Ottoman Bazaar of Carsija, one of the largest and best-preserved Ottoman bazaars in the Balkans dating from the 12th century with its hans, hammams, mosques, and hundreds of craft workshops, stands in vivid historical contrast to the dramatic new Skopje 2014 urban redevelopment project along the Vardar riverbank, which erected over 130 new monuments, neoclassical government buildings, and heroic statues including the enormous Warrior on a Horse statue widely understood to represent Alexander the Great, reflecting North Macedonia's passionate identification with the ancient Macedonian kingdom and the legacy of Alexander and his father Philip II, and where the Old Bazaar's Mustafa Pasha Mosque, the Kale Fortress on the hill above the city, and the Stone Bridge across the Vardar have connected the city's Ottoman, Byzantine, Roman, and ancient Macedonian heritage across the millennia.
