Things to see and do Gostivar

This small pedestrian square (Градски Плоштад/Gradski Ploštad, Sheshi i Qytetit) forms the center of Gostivar with numerous shops, cafés and restaurants in the surrounding area. It is dominated by the white bell tower of the main Orthodox church, Mother of God, built between 1924 and 1929. Opposite begins JNA ("Yugoslav People's Army") Street, which leads to the A 2 road. To the north of the square is a shopping center and, to the south, the small City Park.

This tower (Саат-Кула/Saat-Kula, Sahat Kulla) stands some 25 m high with a square base, octagonal shaft and wooden top. Built in 1728/1729, it is one of the country's best-preserved towers, used to indicate prayer times to Muslim inhabitants. Next door is the large Ebu-Bekir-Pacha Mosque, also known as the "Clock Mosque", founded in 1676 and rebuilt in 1944, with a minaret 35 m high dating from 1994.
