Scupi, Archaeological site in Karpoš Municipality, Skopje, North Macedonia
The excavated ruins of Scupi contain remains of a Roman theater, public baths, residential buildings, and a forum spread across an extensive archaeological complex.
Founded in the 1st century BC as a Roman military settlement, Scupi developed into a major administrative center of the Upper Moesia province.
Archaeological findings at Scupi demonstrate the fusion of Roman architectural styles with local building techniques through discovered structures and decorative elements.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site throughout the year, with guided tours available through the Museum of Skopje upon advance reservation.
The city ceased its urban functions following a devastating earthquake in 518 CE, preserving the Roman-era structures beneath layers of undisturbed soil.
