About Stone Bridge
The Stone Bridge (Kamen Most) was built in the 15th century, in the time of Sultan Mehmed II, on older foundations, and has carried people across the Vardar ever since. It appears on the city’s coat of arms and is the natural start to any walk, from Macedonia Square to the Old Bazaar.
