| Skopje, Lower Town, Church of St. Mina | Place | Immediately to the West of the Church of the Birth of the Mother of God lay originally the Church of St. Mina, which was built by the Greeks of Skopje with Serbian financial support. It was devastated in 1915 and renovated in 1935 in order to house the Church Museum of the Metropolis of Skopje. The Church of St. Mina was destroyed by the earthquake of the year 1963 and is now being re-erected on the same spot. The building site of this church was documented by Mihailo Popović during his survey in Skopje from 13 June 2016 until 30 June 2016. | ||
| Skopje, Lower Town, Church of the Birth of the Mother of God | Place | The Church of the Birth of the Mother of God was built in the year 1835 as Metropolitan Church of the Metropolitan of Skopje (three-naved with a porch in the North, West and South; Iconostasis from 1838) and stood in the tradition of the medieval Church of the Mother of God of "the Three Hands". It was located on the left (northern) shore of the river Vardar between the Opera of the city of Skopje and the building of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANU). The church was burnt down in the year 1944 and rebuilt according to the original plans from 2004 until 2008. This church was documented by Mihailo Popović during his survey in Skopje from 13 June 2016 until 30 June 2016. | ||
| Skopje, Lower Town, Eski-Yeni Hamam | Place | The remnants of an Ottoman bath (hamam) called Eski-Yeni Hamam are to be found immediately to the west of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University. It was built in the 15th century and was severely damaged in the earthquake of 1963. This hamam was documented by Mihailo Popović during his survey in Skopje from 13 June 2016 until 30 June 2016. | ||
| Skopje, Lower Town, Mosque Kebir Mehmet Bey | Place | The Mosque Kebir Mehmet Bey (also Kebir Mehmed Čelebi) is to be found immediately to the south-east of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University. It was built in 1469 and rebuilt for the first time after an earthquake in 1555. On the east side of the mosque, a few gravestones are still to be seen. This mosque was documented by Mihailo Popović during his survey in Skopje from 13 June 2016 until 30 June 2016. | ||
| Skopje, Upper Town, Cross-Shaped Church | Place | In systematic excavations in the Upper Town (Kale) from 2007 until 2012 a cross-shaped church (13th-14th cent.) was discovered in the south-eastern section of the Upper Town (i.e. excavation Kale VII). Perhaps these remnants are to be identified with the Church of the Holy Virgin, which is mentioned in the charter of the Serbian king Stefan Uroš II Milutin to the Monastery of St. George-Gorg near Skopje in the year 1300 (вьнѹтрь града скопиꙗ при вратѣхь великыхь полата и црьквь светаа богородица еже ѥсть придаль монахь ксенофонть). This church was documented by Mihailo Popović during his survey in Skopje from 13 June 2016 until 30 June 2016. |
