Butel, Administrative district in Greater Skopje, North Macedonia.
Located at 288 meters above sea level, Butel district extends across the northern part of Skopje with residential neighborhoods and municipal facilities.
The territorial reform of 2004 established Butel as a separate municipality from Čair, leading to a new administrative structure with its own local government.
Residents of different backgrounds, including Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, and Bosniaks, maintain their traditions through local community gatherings and events.
The district provides essential services to 37,968 inhabitants through a municipal council and administration center that manages local affairs.
The Butel cemetery contains the final resting place of George Zorbas, who inspired the main character in the renowned novel Zorba the Greek.
