EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Skopje's Stone Bridge, a historic landmark that has stood proudly over the Vardar River in Macedonia since the late 15th century. Built under the patronage of Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror between 1451 and 1469, the bridge is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. The Stone Bridge, with its distinctive arches and intricate stonework, has long been a symbol of Skopje's resilience and endurance. It has survived numerous natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods, and has been meticulously restored several times over the centuries. Today, it is featured as the emblem of the city and is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who come to marvel at its ancient beauty. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when horse-drawn carriages and traditional clothing were the norm. The Vardar River, which flows gently beneath the bridge, adds to the serene and picturesque scene, creating a sense of tranquility and calm. The Stone Bridge is more than just a historic monument; it is a living symbol of Skopje's past, present, and future. It represents the city's proud history, its enduring spirit, and its commitment to preserving its cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy. Whether viewed from a distance or up close, the Stone Bridge is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Macedonia, and this photograph is a beautiful reminder of its timeless beauty and significance.
