Čahra Place In 1348 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a charter for the Cell of Saint Sava (ca. 1175-1236) in Karyes on the Holy Mount Athos concerning the village of Kosorići, when he stopped at the place called Čahra near Skopje (Sego radi napisa se sii hrisovulь vь ōkrьstnoi st᾿raně grada Skopia, stoještu carstvu mi na Čahri). The charter of Stefan Dušan for the Monastery of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel near Prizren dated to 1347/48 refers to the place of Čahra in the border delimitation of the village of Klьčevišta (A megja Klьčevištemь: do visa us poljanu, megju Pьsi Dolь i megju hlьmь tere pravo na kolovozь, i koi putь ide ōt Banjanь pravo mimo selo Slivovikь, kako izlazi kolnikь na kamenikь na brьdo, i ōt tudu pravo u planinu putemь obь druge strane do crьkvišta pri Kalopetrově lozě, a gorě uz dělь u planinu; a ōt Skopija megja, po srědě Dobroga Dola, u putь u prěky koi grede ōt Čahra, i do mramora putemь koi grede uz Golihovo pravo u Banjane, ōt toga puti pravo u visь, koi ide megju Banjane i megju Klьčevišta). Čahra was not a village in medieval times, but a place (topographical entity), which is most probably to be localised in "Čairsko Polje" (cf. the map by Radoslav M. Grujić), which is today Skopje's Northern urban district of Čair.
