The bridge is considered a symbol of Skopje, and is also the main element of the coat of arms of the city. Most evidence suggests that the bridge was constructed in the 15th century. The Stone Bridge connects Macedonia Square, in the Center of Skopje, to the Old Town of the city.

  • Built in the 6-th century Byzathia, but got the modern shape at the time of Ottoman ocupation.
  • There is numberless bridges built on the same style at the 15 century where Ottoman Empire was running, but a persistent wish to show that this bridge is built on the time of the Byzantine Empire
