PLACE SKANDERBEG

This square (Плоштад Скендербег/Ploštad Skenderbeg, Sheshi i Skënderbeut) is located above Goce-Delčev Boulevard and marks the entrance to the predominantly Albanian-populated Stara Čaršija neighborhood. Since 2006, it has been adorned with a 7-meter-high equestrian statue of the Albanian hero Skanderbeg, who fought the Ottomans in the ^15th century. As part of the "Skopje 2014" project, the square was also equipped with a mural depicting great figures of Albanian history, an open-air theater and a statue of Skanderbeg's army.
