Alexander the Great in the central Macedonian Square🇲🇰

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #NorthMacedonia #Skopje This bronze equestrian statue standing tall in Macedonia Square in the heart of Skopje is the city's largest landmark, standing 24m tall (45m including the pedestal). Completed in 2011, this work is the core of the 'Skopje 2014' project, and a magnificent bronze rider and horse are placed on a magnificent fountain that cost 8 million euros. Points of visit A unique visual effect that turns golden when illuminated at night A 10m-high bronze soldier statue and a group of lion statues on the pedestal Recommended for taking pictures while viewing from a nearby cafe Controversially, due to a historical dispute with Greece, the official name is 'Equestrian Warrior'14, but locals call it 'Alexander of Macedonia' Traveler reviews are mixed, such as "overwhelmed by the exaggerated size" (TripAdvisor)3 vs. "Feel the greatness of history" (local guide) Points of criticism that the surrounding square is in poor condition as of 2025 It is a more meaningful experience when you visit while understanding the historical symbolism. The night view is especially recommended!! #February travel support event #Alexander the Great
