Stone Bridge in Skopje, Stone arch bridge in Centar district, Skopje, North Macedonia.

The Stone Bridge extends 213 meters across the Vardar River with thirteen pillars and stone arches connecting the Macedonia Square to the Old Bazaar.

Built between 1451 and 1469 during Sultan Mehmed II's reign, the bridge served as a crucial link between Eastern and Western trade routes in the Balkans.

The Stone Bridge appears in yellow-gold on Skopje's coat of arms and flag, representing the architectural identity of North Macedonia's capital city.

Pedestrians can cross the bridge while accessing numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops located on both sides of the Vardar River.

The central pillar contains hidden chambers that functioned both as guard posts and structural elements to reduce the weight of the construction.
