Skanderbeg Monument, Bronze equestrian statue in Skopje, North Macedonia

The Skanderbeg Monument rises 11 meters high, featuring a bronze figure mounted on horseback atop a stone pedestal in central Skopje.

Created in 2006, this monument honors George Kastrioti Skanderbeg, the 15th-century Albanian military commander who led resistance against Ottoman forces for over two decades.

The statue represents a symbol of Albanian heritage in North Macedonia, depicting Skanderbeg as a determined military leader in full battle attire.

Visitors can reach the monument by walking from Skopje city center, with several public transportation stops located within 200 meters of the site.

The monument shows Skanderbeg wielding his characteristic sword and shield, elements that became recognizable symbols of Albanian resistance throughout the centuries.
