SULTAN MURAD MOSQUE: A LEGACY OF FAITH AND HERITAGE

#holidayitinerary Built in 1436, the Sultan Murad Mosque is the oldest surviving mosque in Skopje, standing on a hill above the Old Bazaar. For centuries, it has watched over the city as empires rose and fell, enduring earthquakes, wars, and fires. Legend says that when the mosque was first completed, its call to prayer echoed so beautifully through the valley that even the river seemed to pause and listen. Locals believed it was a blessing, a sign that the mosque would protect the city. Though damaged and rebuilt many times, the mosque still stands as a symbol of resilience and faith. Today, visitors who climb its steps not only see one of Skopje’s most important landmarks but also feel the quiet strength of a place that has carried the prayers and hopes of generations.
