As you continue your drive, visit the historic town of Tetovo. It’s home to the colorful Šarena Džamija (Painted Mosque) and the ancient Tetovo Fortress, gifting insights into the region’s history.

Before the arrival of Slavic people in the sixth and seventh centuries, Scupi thrived under Roman rule, becoming a major urban center after its establishment as a Roman colony in the first century AD. It remained influential throughout the Roman Empire and into the Byzantine period, reflecting a blend of Roman and Byzantine cultural and architectural influences.

The Slavic migration in the early medieval period transformed the region’s demographic and cultural landscape. These new settlers gradually assimilated with the local population, leading to the development of a Slavic identity that eventually contributed to the formation of modern North Macedonia. Skopje's rich and diverse history is a testament to its enduring significance in the Balkans.
