Stobi, Archaeological site in Gradsko Municipality, North Macedonia
Stobi is an ancient city whose ruins spread across a large site arranged on three different levels. The remains include Roman buildings, columns, mosaics, and an old amphitheater.
The city started as a Paeonian settlement and was later conquered and developed by the Macedonian king Philip V. Under Roman rule, it became the capital of the province Macedonia Salutaris.
The buildings here show how people of different faiths lived together in one place. You can see remains of a synagogue, Christian basilicas, and mosaics that tell the story of a religiously tolerant ancient city.
The site is accessible year-round and is best reached by car. The nearest towns are Kavadarci, Negotino, and Veles, which offer good access points for visiting the ruins.
The Episcopal Basilica contains a peacock mosaic that is so well-known it appears on Macedonian banknotes. This shows how important the ancient city remains to national identity today.
