It was destroyed by a massive earthquake in 518 A.D, but had still succeeded in preserving itself until the fourteenth century. The great part of Stobi has been excavated and has yielded very important archaeological findings. The most attractive and important for tourists include: the Bishop's church the Partenius palace, the Peristerij palace, Poliharmos and Amphitheatre. Evaluating the remains, it can be said that the Bishop's church had a monumental view and was richly decorated in mosaics. Today, besides the mosaics discovered in nartex, some fresco fragments have been found there on the northern and western walls of the church, thought to have originated from the fifth and sixth century A.D. One of the most representative buildings in Stobi is the Pertenius palace, built in the fifth century. Its rich decoration arrangement of rooms and great space, give evidence of the wealth and comfortable life led by some citizens of this town. What contributed to the value of this building distinguishing it from the others, are the decorations of mosaic and white marble and ornamental tiles. The Peristerij palace is also famous as a palace with double doors and two aspes placed one besides the other. Some mosaics made in the fifth century with different figures and ornaments from animal and plant life were preserved there. The remains of the town drinking fountain and town bath are close to that place. there are different opinions on the period of construction of the amphitheatre in Stobi. Some say that it was constructed in the second century A.D, others thought it was built in the third century. However, this theatre was renovated and enlarged several times and part of that construction material was used in a later period of construction in Stobi and its surroundings. The archaeological site of Stobi also has a restaurant. Stobi

14. Kale fortress is situated on a hill in the middle of Skopje and dominates this whole portion of the Vardar valley. Archaeological excavations has revealed traces of habitation from the late neolithic and early bronze ages. Exactly when the first fortifications were built on this site has not yet been established, though it is believed that reconstruction was undertaken during Justinian's reign (527-565), i.e. after the great earthquake in 518. Today's visitor first notes the walls, 121 m in length, built of huge blocks of dressed stone; according to some authorities the walls were built soon after the earthquake of 518, and according to others in the 10th or 11th century. However, the most probable construction date appears to be some time in the 6th or 7th century when Byzantium was under constant attack from Pechenegs, Polovitzians, Normans, Bulgars, and Slavs. Important additions were made to the fortress which incorporated several residential buildings and quarters for the soldiers. A small chapel with frescoes assigned to the 14th century has also been found. The most detailed description of the fortress was given by Evliya Chelebi, the Turkish traveller and writer. "The walls," wrote Chelebi, "encircling the castle on all sides are 50 ells high. The stronghold is adorned with 70 bastions, and the bazaar has 2,000 shops. There are three gatehouses facing the south-east, and in the vistibule of each tall gate many guards. Flowing past the west side of the fortress is Vardar. There is also a path leading from the fortress through a cave to a 'water-tower' on the river bank. Inside the fortress are about a hundred buildings: soldiers' quarters, grain and munitions depots." When the military withdrew at the end of the last war the fortress was converted into a large park dedicated to the Revolution. Since many of the buildings had collapsed during the earthquake of 1963, conservation work was undertaken. Kale - Skopje
